The discipline of blogging
"Hello World"... errr, I mean, hi, I'm back; that is: back from a 9-month blogging sabbatical. It was less intentional than being not disciplined enough to get a round tuit. Work has definitely picked up and is running me at a full-court press. But I figure I'd better get on with the writing - and also with the showing of my photos!
I've come to realize that I need to discipline my life, especially when life gets busy. Things can fall apart in busy-ness. The Canadian tire (or Canadian male muffin-top) reduction program needs constant attention, relationships need care (we're just celebrating our first anniversary), photos need to be taken - and even more importantly, need sorting, editing and presenting.
All this requires discipline - the 15 minutes a day to 1 hour a day, easy-win kind of discipline. After walking through the 9 Days in the Kingdom photo exhibition a few weeks back, Enrique and I were lamenting the fact that while our own photography has matured and is more-or-less marketable, we haven't put them out enough for friends to enjoy and perhaps for the world to notice (which amateur photographer wouldn't want to finance equipment and travels with their photography). And our lack of self discipline is to blame.
Well, without much ado, here's some of my recent work:
- A selection of calendar photos for the 2008 Evangelical Church of Bangkok calendar
- Photos from the wedding of one of my groomsmen Alan to Liz.
- Press conference of Professor Paulo Pinheiro the UN Human Rights Envoy to Myanmar
- A not-so-recent gallery from a shoot in Yaowarat (Chinatown in Bangkok) during Chinese New Year
