One of my favorite movies is Star Trek: Insurrection.  In it, a group of people called the Ba’Ku live in harmony with nature and are essentially immortal–living for hundreds of years before they decide what they want to do when they “grow up”, all while wearing comfortable natural fibers!  How awesome would it be to spend, oh, fifty to a hundred years learning how to perfect a skill?  Well, last time I checked, I am not immortal and there are a finite number of years with which to work.

That being said, I am struggling with learning an essentially new skill–photography.  I have been frustrated with my food photography lately but at the same time, felt like I couldn’t afford to spend time fixing the issue–so many things to do!  So, I’ve resolved to work on it and patiently learn, which is a challenge for me because I always want to put the cart before the horse!

I have a lot to learn, but I’m really excited to slow down and focus on developing this skill, even if it takes the next fifty years!  Ok, not fifty…
