Digital Doesn't Fade

I am in a transitional state. With everything else around me changing, I figure, why not try a new journal? (Plus Blogger hosts picture posting) For a bit, I'll be posting on both journals until I make a decision, or until it becomes too much of a pain.

A snapshot fading...every instant, our circumstances and our surroundings make certain impressions on us, and conversely, we make impressions on our environment including those people with whom we interact. However, every impression that we perceive or create is altered as our experience grows and our world view expands. Snapshots fade. And in college, far from home, with so many different viewpoints, and with fewer restraints and expectations levied upon a person, snapshots not only fade, they yellow, are bent, burned, and buried. And all the while, the darkroom churns out new 4 by 5 glossies in a cycle that, eventually, results in a greater understanding of the values and beliefs that one holds dear and protects with heavy frames and glass panes. This is my way of framing some of the old and dear, as well as the new and exciting impressions that develop over the course of this phase of my life.
