Life has been a little rough these days, and yet rewarding.
Doing animation... and I think any art for that matter, requires a leap a faith. It never feels, starting it, that it is ever going to get done. I think animation has one of the longest leaps of any art form. It takes a lot of build up before you start seeing any fruition. There are longer I am sure, but animation also has so many puzzle pieces that have to fall in place and starting it usually requires throwing them into the air and watching them fall. I am a supervisor(one of three)on an in house short that Blur is doing and right now all the puzzle pieces have been thrown into the air, reached their height and have begun to fall. All eyes are on the table waiting for the first piece to land.
This picture brought a smile to my face, seeming oddly two-fold appropriate. Photography is something that relaxes me and brings me back to my roots. It has a much shorter (at least most of the time) leap of faith... that is usually the struggle to get up earlier enough or late enough to be at the right place at the right time for the shot. All that coupled with a recent visit to the doctor where my blood pressure was high and better diet was suggested, makes me smile at the broccoli-esqe tree in the photograph.
