Filling Your Silos…….

Farmers rely on giant silos to store their grain, or corn, or whatever.  The point is fill up those silos!  It’s easy to get into that habit!  Don’t get me wrong, for the farmer it is an occupational necessity, for us not so much.

Over the last several years, as I was securing the photo gear for retirement, I realized I had a lot of stuff!!!!  Truthfully, I had a lot more than any reasonable person needs.  When I first got into the new Fuji System I only had a couple or three lenses, and one body.  I shot like that for quite a while, and I learned something, I really didn’t need much more.  Now, I didn’t say I didn’t want more, (hard habit to break), but I can tell you this, my work improved.  I spent a lot more time thinking about what I was seeing, and how to approach it, and less time worrying about which of twelve lenses to use!

This is about focus, focus on what is most important, which brings me to the real point of this exercise.  It’s time to focus, focus on what is most important.  What you have doesn’t matter, what you hope to acquire doesn’t matter, what others think of you doesn’t matter.  Who you are is what matters!  So who are you?  That is as question worth pondering, and answering.
