Recent additions to my Sony Alpha NEX-5R compact system camera: Sony FDA-EV1S electronic viewfinder, which is a big improvement over the LCD screen when shooting outdoors in bright light; Tamron 18-200 mm zoom lens, which covers almost the entire range of the original Sony 18-55 and 55-210 lenses, reducing the frequency of lens changes in the field.
"Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over, it became a butterfly."
It is incredibly essential that a person develops, changes, + evolves mentally just as much as he does physically. It is probably twice as important for an artist as it clearly shows in his work. Artistic self expression is like a man-eating disease and, if you let it, you'll find yourself believing you've hit the mythical "writer's block".
You can look at a drawing from the early years and a sketch from the current brain weather and almost not recognize (if at all) the maker.
Who I was 5 years ago is not the person I am today (2011). People in high school year books always advise to "never change" but they couldn't be more wrong. Are they seriously asking you to stay in the same naive rutty way of thinking? Mental growth is the reason why you cannot trust anyone 100%. I'd say go for 99% with those closest to you. To evolve is to learn and expand the horizons of your mind. Sometimes this requires going back to our childlike ways of believing anything is possible.
To stay put in your seatbelt is to deny your humanity.
To be stuck in the same corner is just sick and wrong.
