+dream job

because i work somewhere i don't enjoy working, daydreaming about my ideal job is a common affair. if i could pick my job today (skill/income not being limiting factors) i would work for national geographic as a photo journalist. hands down. think of it--paid to travel the world and take breathtaking pictures of creation. i cannot even begin to fathom how fulfilling that would be for me. sure, i might get tired of it someday, but think of it! i don't think i would sleep, ever. photography is one of those things that is so fascinating to me that i forget about things like eating, moving, conversing, i just get wrapped up into it and love it. i wish i was better at it, but it's art, and art is intended to express who the artist is, not meet a recognized standard. i wish that taking pictures could help people-save their lives or give them a better future. until i figure how it can do that i'll probably keep on dreaming and keep on being practical. what a shame.
