Photography Is Hard!

I'm two months in to my D90 ownership, and I'm totally in love with this camera. What I'm not as excited about, however, are my pictures. I have zero creative vision. I can look at other pictures and go "ohh, that's a nice one", but there are very few of my own that elicit such praise. From me other others (in fact noone else has said that about any of my pictures, but then again only very few of them are online). I suppose I could whore around for comments and faves on flickr, but I'd rather have pictures that I'm really happy with myself, first. Then (if ever) get the recognition of others.

I think one of the reasons for my lack of creativity is this terrible city that I live in. Brussels has got to be the grayest, most boring, least interesting place on earth to live in. Shit, a hole in the ground probably has more things to look at. Don't get me wrong, I have a great life... ...I just wish I was living it elsewhere... =/

Anyway, drop by (flickr) and leave a comment, if you feel one is warranted. Or if you just want to cheer me up ;)

Obama Wins Peace Price

So, Barack Obama won the Nobel's Peace Price. What a fucking joke! I mean, he's a great man and all, and he's definitely working towards peace, but it's not like he's actually accomplished anything worthy of such an award in his one year in office.
Sure, after one term in office, maybe two. A political life's worth of fighting for peace and succeeding. Then, and only then, does it make sense to award someone the peace price. As it stands now, we don't even know if his initiatives will actually bear fruit. Hell, for all we know, he might invade Iran in the coming 6-18 months!


Clearly leaving this decision in the hands of the Norwegians was a bad idea...
