Dreaming.In.Reality

there won’t be much posting next week, or any theme thursday/photo friday submissions.. i won’t be around.. blogging and the what not will resume as normal/usual in it’s freakish, sporadic and somewhat boring manner august 4th-ish..

This week’s Theme Thursday was was “immature”. I have some personal issues with the theme, that are explained with the photo as you will see.

Also, I have finished the 26 Things Photography Project. It will automatcially be posted August 1st around midnight. I ended up doing a run of the mill self portrait for the “you” category, but crunched for time and ideas.. I couldn’t wait any longer. I do however like the pose etc, I used for it.. so in the near future with more time/space I shall try again.

I personally had some issues with the name of this theme this week, combined with the descriptions in the suggestion. There are a lot of negative associations with the word immature, and I honestly deep down, do not believe that an adult.. partaking in an activity that a child or younger person would do.. to be immature. I see it as connecting, in the cliche terminology, with one’s inner child. There is too much in the world that weighs us down as we get older, so it’s always refreshing to see one be able to “throw their cares to the wind” and remember what it was like.. being young without responsibilities, jobs, families, etc. My photo this week comes from my husband’s collection of “childhood memories”.
