Blog time.

So I have signed up for a week long art photography course up in Red Deer from July 7 - 11. 5 days away from work, friends, family, just me, my camera, some other photographer wannabes like me and a pro photographer to teach us. Should be a blast, It will definitely be nice get into another hobby.

I have been excessively bored as of late. Sure I've been doing my working out, and watching movies, and playing the odd video game, and working. But there is just time void I'm feeling. Like I could be doing something more, anything, but I don't know what.

So I am going to pose a rather odd question. I'm going out on a real limb here, the nerd/macho asshole in me keeps telling me this is completely ludicrous, but there is a part of me that thinks it could be fun. Unfortunately this is the part of me that I seem to have been repressing for a while now and I'm not sure how to deal with it.

A little while ago, one of my extended family, and aunt in particular said I should go into modeling. At the time of course I thought she was being funny, but lately I have been curious about the prospect. Reading into it, one realizes that I would be out of place in most circles. I'm not buff enough to do sports modeling and I'm to short for fashion (the average being from 5'10'' - 6'2''ish, I'm only 5'8''...I think).

As of now I've told two of my buddies about the idea, they both thought it was quite the curve ball, one thought it was an interesting idea, the other thought I was coming out of the closet and made some bad jokes about nude modeling, which when thinking about it, probably wouldn't be out of the question.

I guess the question is, is this a foolish prospect? Any input would be appreciated.

Fuck this is weird...
