Everything is changing

All that I have once thought to be fairly secure, Heraclitus comes and bites me in the rear with things toppling over left and right. My mother asked me today why people die, I told her the easiest answer I knew: to know that we live. She wished that werent the case, which prompted me to ask "wouldnt life be way too boring if we didnt die?" which left an awkward silence. Aside from that, I have fallen ill, which brings me the joy of hacking up the contents of my nose through my mouth and throat. There are many problems in life, but hey, I also use to say life would be boring without them. Humans are such weird creatures. My father suspected that I enjoy photography much more than me going to law school, I somewhat agreed. I have no idea what I will be doing, at least I have some place to retreat to: my "craft". I have realized I have neglected my 50mm way too much for my smooshy in the corners 20mm, so in conjunction with my speedlight and a piece of foam, I am now starting to work at people more from the ground up. Maybe next time I wont shoot at 1.4, maybe 2.0 or 2.8 is better. Either way, I liked how this one turned out than most I have posted. Thank you Neil Van Niekerk for the tips to a budding "photographer". I dont think I will ever call myself that seriously, maybe.

Oh, here is my little brother. He turned 17 four days ago. Now that I got a good look at this picture, it feels like my little brother is staring back at me. Weird.
