I’ve been posting so many things about digital Photography and Photoshop lately and came to the realization that I hate Photoshop CS3 because of the fact that I am now addicted. I use Photoshop every single day and I can’t stand the fact that I have to use it every single day. Most people would think I am crazy for saying that, but it is true. It’s the one and only program I have really used my entire life for everything I’ve ever done, from Websites, to Digital Photography, Graphic Design, Video, Slide Shows, Interior Design, 3D Design mock-ups, and more. I use it for everything. When I moved into my new house, I used Photoshop to design my entire house. When I got a new bunny, I designed my Rabbit Cage in Photoshop. What hell is wrong with this program? Seriously it is so freaking great, it almost makes me angry. I’ve also wasted a big junk of my life now sitting in front of the computer. Every version of Photoshop that is released, makes me get more addicted. Now that CS3 has been on the market for awhile, I wonder what Adobe will come up with next. I can’t even imagine what the next version of Photoshop will do because the CS3 Extended does everything you would ever need.
Seriously, I think I am going to start a support group for Digital Photographers who spend too much time in front of their computers. My wife hates it, my friends hate it and so does my family. They don’t quite understand why I spend so much time in front of the computer. If they could even comprehend half of the information that is inside my brain, and how much effort it takes to get good at something, they might just leave me alone about it.
Digital Photography and photo sharing has become so abundant online and is so easy to do. Every photographer is sharing images around the globe. You can find pictures of anything and everything. You don’t even have to wonder what other cultures or countries look like anymore because you can look them up on Google or whatever your favorite site is. It almost spoils the fun and the adventure because you know exactly where in the world you would go or not go. Sometimes I would rather just go and find out for myself.
Finally when I do travel, what am I doing? Of course I am taking pictures of everything instead of enjoying the views and chatting with my family. Half the time I can’t even remember the names of the places I traveled to because I am so focused on shooting photos and trying to capture that perfect image. And of course, once I get home, what am I doing? Downloading the images of course, and fixing them up in Photoshop. It’s a rather disgusting cycle of life, but it’s my life and that’s all I know. Maybe one of these days I’ll change, but for now, I’ll continue loving Photoshop and Photography and trying to live out my dreams.
