Hundreds of years from now, it will not matter what my bank account was, the sort of house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove... But the world may be different because I did something so bafflingly crazy that my ruins become a tourist attraction.

Re: My little firefly, Hotaru
Thank you for your kind words lbl! July's photos were honestly done from my new phone and natural lighting. I can't imagine what I could do setting up an actual photoshoot. Honestly, I can't. I recently learned that I have a condition called aphantasia.lilbitlonely wrote:Hotaru is absolutely adorable. You do a really nice job photographing her.
This was recently discovered in 2015, some people actually can't visualize things in their mind. I now know why I can't draw things straight from my imagination, I can't picture it exactly. It's why if I actually even have a dream, it is a blurred mess. There are finally being studies done about this condition. I hope that someday, a way to reverse this is found. I have only become so much more curious of how normal people see the world, in their own head. As an artist, this has been frustrating me all of my life.
Hota has changed my life so much already. She helped me overcome my alcoholism and achieve sobriety. Eased my feelings of abandonment, and reconnect myself to actually feeling. I believe that is what shows the most in her photos.
I finally started my project of sailing the world. It has consumed a ton of resources that I had planned for Hota, but she doesn't mind because she is coming with me. August just blew by, so I have decided to extend my work time on the boat for another year. This will also give us time for more photoshoots.
So I really hope I can start involving myself more with the community that helped guide my decision to introduce Hotaru into my life. Everyone here helped so much with making that decision to bring her into my life. Directly or indirectly. I know it will be really fun sharing our adventures once we get out on the water!
lilbitlonely, your lil corner of the forum really helped me solidify my decision, and I can't thank you enough.
