Change

Since I'm on holidays, I have a lot more spare time on my hands ... still working, but no studying :).

I thought about an interesting question that gets asked around quite often, and the answers are almost always biased or bullshit. Here is my compilation of the best answers I've seen/heard/read/given to the age old question

"Will people ever change?"

- Once a cheater always a cheater

- You can't turn a hoe into a housewife

- Yes, but he won't do it for you

- "A man can train himself to stop chasing women,

but if a woman is chasing your man, he can't run fast enough",

the prophet Chris Rock

- Players change in their locker room

- Only werewolves, every full mooon

- when STD happens

- "Players don't change, they lose

so if you don't want a defeated man, let a player play" Anon

(who would have thought?)

When I posed the question to a wide demographic, it was interesting to find out that nearly everyone linked that question to a relationship (Chris Rock quote is definitely a personal favourite though haha).

Initially the idea came into my mind when I saw an old photo of myself (4yrs old) holding a point & shoot film camera. I'm now 19, and still holding a camera. That hasn't always been the case though, between the ages of 8-15 the photography part of me got brushed off to the side. Even though I haven't achieved a whole with photography, I'm always surprised with the photos I find buried in my hard drives.

I guess if you used me as an example, I didn't change, but I came full circle. Took the long scenic detour away from photography and came right back on the expressway. Or ... I could be an exception.

Change, maybe ... but we'll always go back to the roots
