motives

Today, i was just reflecting on what makes people tick.

I guess the story about Terri Schiavo dying after the 13th day of not having a feeding tube kinda brought up this train of thought. What was going on in the head of Terri's husband during her last hours? Why didn't he let his in-laws see their daughter alive during those critical moments? It's be a tough call to make a decision for a family member whether or not s/he should stay alive even though s/he was in a vegetative state. Living wills are something that may be a viable option to consider for that "just in case" scenario.

The fact that anyone's life could just be instantly changed ... for better or worse ... brings up the question, what are we living for?

decisions, decisions, decisions

lately, i've been pondering whether or not i should go digital ... in terms of cameras ...

there are several factors when considering changing from film to digital photography ...
what type of photography will be done? what type of quality is desired? is most work done for black and white and colour or just colour? is this for fun? for professional work?

a friend of mine is looking to sell his fancy digital manual camera ... very tempting offer...
but, i can't justify spending a lot of money on a camera when i'm still trying to finance my education. the only way i could justify, or rationalize, this major purpose is to view it as an investment ... to do freelance work. however, with the crazy student load, i'm not sure if this freelance option is honestly that viable.

sigh. well, i guess i'll have to sleep on it. again.
