{can an old dog learn new tricks}

as i venture into the world of new creations, i wonder, can an old dog learn new tricks?

 

i feel the need to be creative, in a new way, with new technology. but as i read the "how to's" i dont absorb the information.  is that normal? or am i just an old dog.  steve jobs said "anyone over thirty can't be trusted" and at first i think wow what a jerk.  but then it hits me. and i know why he said that.  we are stuck in our own little rut we've created for ourselves. and to think out of the box, or learn something new, just sounds really scary.

 

but im going to learn some new things in the year of 33 (my birthday is soon approaching).  in the year of 33 i will learn more about photography.  like what apeature really is. or how to adjust an ISO.  I also want to work more on being creative in general.  and loving what i do.  not putting out work im not happy with...

 

"Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle."

 

i've always needed to slow down, take my time. and while thats hard for me.  its something that i think i should practice at.  and with time, eventually i will stop rushing thru life.
