of gossip girl and my writing and picture taking

watching the entire season 2 of gossip girl after all can put out creative juices. i was inspired by jenny (a fashion designer) and dan (a writer) humphrey to dig up these photos. these were before starting my new job and my MFA. in short, these photos were products of my being a bum. i bought a point and shoot pentax from my back pay and started taking pictures of practically anything inside the house. i only got to do outdoor stuff whenever i attended birthdays, weddings, baptisms. while looking for these in my multiply account, i noticed that the recent photos were only that of me attending some gathering and most of the photos by me were on the archived pages. i stopped taking photos when i started MFA. it was either i didn't have enough time with school or work. i remember posting an entry about being all i can be (not the BB Gandanghari kind of way) vs. sticking with what i really want to do and focus on it. i want to take more photos from around the city, the people and not just just still images. i want the viewers to be moved when they see or read my work as mentioned in my previous entry as well.

i dunno how i'm gonna do it but i want to do both writing and photography. not that the two would be different, because both capture certain images. it's a matter of time management which i am soooo struggling to do manage right now.

as for gossip girl, i may be the lowly jenny humphrey, but like her, i can be good at my craft if i work really hard for it.
