sometimes you have to get out of the rut you find yourself in. doing the same things over and over again does not make one creative, although it might mean one is productive. i like this photo as a simple b/w photo. it has some emotional intensity to it. i simply wanted to play a bit with PSE5. this is the result. some may like it; most probably won't. life is like that. if we only do things to make others happy, we lose ourselves in the process of doing so. even though we are a more independent society than most Asian nations, we still have pressure to succumb to what is the dangerous "middle ground" of mediocrity.

yesterday, my lame sister sent us all another cheery email extolling her generosity as a guardian for my mother. unfortunately she gave permission for us to "ignore" a court order that does not exist. she continues to practice Mickey Mouse law. i have also come to understand that she thinks of The Law as a penultimate practice. she confuses legality with ethical or fair or just. she must know that the lawyers created The Law for their own benefit using cheesy language to obfuscate reality. she thinks that because she tackled law school, that she has transcended non-law school mere mortals. underestimate your enemy and you have probably already committed a grievous error, perhaps fatal.

so mediocrity or creativity. there is room for both. we can't always seek to excel everywhere. let others take the lead at times. go for it.
