how similar are you to your Hive persona?
I think I am very similar to my Hive persona, but I am pretty biased when it comes to that. I like to jump around on a lot of topics and on a lot of entertainment, and to try a lot of different things.
Having aged and reached an age where a lot of the things and experiences I had as a younger person are no longer possible, I can still continue the journey of new experiences and learning through the Internet and more laid back activities.
I change a lot, one of my biggest dislikes and fears is to become stagnant in life. I can not imagine no new experiences, no new learning, no growth of self. There are always new mysteries to see, learn and overcome.
Smallsteps seems to like portraying that certain air of mystery about her. I love the last few shots of her. Is she the one choosing the poise? what she wants to present?
You know something funny - while you talk about your age and retirement and all of those things - I don't have a mental sense of you as an old person at all. Not because you are immature of course - but because you are curious enough to keep an open mind.
These are older unfortunately, but yes - I just shoot the shots - she just plays. The other day for the first time, she took my wife's phone (we don't give her screen time on a phone at all) and took her own pictures around the house. For two hours she explored the area looking for shots :)
Developing her photo eye at an early age, that is good. I'm not super old, just over 60, but the body is really broke at times. So my mind is the only thing I have left that is working at times or so it feels.
The last couple of days my comments have waned because I found an on-line book that I feel I am actually beginning to get a small grasp on python. Time sure passes by quick when you are engrossed for a few hours.
