My dad doesn't understand why I take pictures of things and not people. He says I'm wasting film. Film that I pay good money for. And yet, I look back at the photos he took when he was in college, and none of them are of people. Both my parents are kind of artsy in their own way.

I'm just trying to find a way that works for me, Dad. I'm learning to play bass, just like you. I like taking photos, but in my own way. Just let me be. I'll figure it out sooner or later.
