" The development of technology will leave only one problem: the infirmity of human nature."
 -Karl Kraus



 [sigh]....  So much for my minimalist ideals.  I just have way too many things.  I realized this (once again) while trying to decide what to take a picture of  - what would represent technology in my life.  "Technology" isn't a bad thing.  Heck, I wouldn't be able to do this fun challenge, would I, if it weren't for computer and internet technology? 

But I have way more stuff than I am able to adequately take care of, or use.


Thanks to this challenge, I see that my simple point and shoot has so many manual settings and options.  My computer has photo editing capabilities that I barely know how to use... I really don't need a fancy camera just yet.  I could learn quite a bit with what I've got.  


So, yeah...

and, i'm quite certain Thoreau would not approve.

then again, somehow it is imperative to learn balance. xox
