I guess my personality has dulled in the past few years. I know that friendships come and go as much as everything else does on this earth, but it’s a little unnerving. I guess maybe I’m not as “impressionnant” as before. It has certainly been hard, but I give it my best shot anyways. I try to use these websites as a means to recollect as well as spread my thoughts to everyone that takes the time to read it. Maybe I’m looking in the wrong direction. Lately things have been hard hitting and I can only imagine they will get worse with my move coming due soon. I wonder what things will be like for me when I do finally leave here. I guess I will have to wait and see.

Portfolio
I know I am not the best photographer out there but I have decided to push forward and actually pursue my interest in photography. I have recently started creating a new site to form a portfolio of my work. I’m not sure anyone reads this yet, or will , but I figured I would reach out and ask for opinions on how it should be organized. It will conjoin with this site becoming a sort of sister site. Originally when I built my two sites one was to host photos and the other depict my adventures for my friends to read. It’s no face book, so it’s hard to compete for people’s time when my site doesn’t allow such networking but I’m hoping my venture to revitalize my sites will get people to keep in touch with me as much as I desire to stay in touch with them. Eventually there will be a French log written as well, and maybe Chinese if I ever come to in the language. For now, minimatt.com will remain the main site. On the other hand, acornsandgold.com will most likely be taken down permanently and replaced by a site that will remain undisclosed at the moment till more is completed. This secondary site will be a true portfolio of photos and art work I have made whether they be recent adventures or crazy inpsirations. What are your thoughts? Feel free to e-mail me, I am sure you all know where to reach me, if not leave messages here.
A photo worth a friendship
I am trying to discern the importance or link between a photo and a friendship. Of course photos can show the bond between friends, the link to life and the excitement it provides for us. What of those situations where people make photos an extreme, a hate or a love? Do we find it bothersome? What happens when someone wants you to delete a photo they hate but seems to depict their happiness? What do we do in such a conundrum? The lines are thin here. I hold photography as a great hobby and graphical display of the diversity in life. Why should we delete what we remember in our heads?
New York, New York
This weekend was one crazy weekend. Met some great people, did some networking, and spent time in good company all while in the great city of NY. I can’t really express it because it was spent in three languages and a mess of crazy fun such as my search for cheesecake! I have new inspirations and even created aspirations! I am looking forward to my future life and have become a little more thoughtful as to what my life may develop in to. This all came from talking with the resident Frenchman, Canadian, Norwegian and fellow American. More will come to follow, as my thoughts begin to settle from crazy shaking that has occurred this weekend.
