I guess i wasn't exactly efficient at Chicago, I didn't get to see everything that I wanted to see. I didn't go on the John Hancock tower, see the Buckingham Fountain, see the United Center with Michael Jordan's statue, didn't see the old water tower and didn't visit the Chicago Institute of Art. Those are all deal to my sentimental feelings, relaxing attitude, poor time keeping, being a bit too romantic, not getting enough sleep and lack of organization.
But it's okay. I don't want to see everything just yet. I am happy that God made the universe big so there are always things to see and be amaze. It wasn't until late at night at the CTA station after watching the Fiddler on the Roof that I got in that mood for photography again. It was like back in New York that summer back in 05 I believe. here I was rushing a bit, visiting the tourist spots and taking assignment-like photographs, and being a bit frustrated and rushing a bit but tonight it was peace with photography and it was fun again. Haven't had that feeling for a while. it became fun again. became interesting, relaxing, like a journey, exploration, a love affair, just taking pictures. and i found out that frustration photographs i took a few days earlier looked good. i guess it's just hard checking the photograph i took under the bright sun, especially with sunglasses on.
it's strange really. life is strange. why am i making this trip? i know the answer but is it a worthy answer? but no regret. what i treasure most is the time spent with people really, with family and friends. everything else is secondary. sometimes i would think, "what the heck are we doing?" what is it that we are doing? why can some people can be so sure of themselves? what trouble me most is how some fools are so stubborn and full of themselves? well, the answer is obvious, because they are fools.
what is it that you can take with your life? what i it that will stay forever? humans are weird creatures. how do we work? Wheaton College' s Billy Graham Center's exhibits were inspiring.
