夜、葛藤を覚えながらも、フォトグラフィーのクラスに行く。

時間がないので、写真の課題をやるのをいっそ諦めてしまおうかと考えたが、

せっかくここまで頑張ったのだから、まあ適当にやり続けることにした。

結果がCでもDでもいい。別に資格が欲しくてやっているわけではない。

頑張りつづけることに、意義があるんだ。

GMが倒産の危機にいる記事を読んだ。

人間窮地に追い込まれれば、なんでもできるんだと思う。

今日は30枚以上、焼いた。

暗室で作業していると、心が落ち着く。


I thought for a while, that maybe it's better to give up my photography coursework and not go to the class tonight.

But, I decided to go at the end.

I thought, I've attended most of the classes since last year and have taken lots of photographs and

it would be such a shame to give up at this stage.

They say 'it's just AS level photography' and perhaps getting C on it or B or even A will not do me any good.

But I guess I'm not doing it to get a qualification.

It's just goes against my conscience to give up at this stage.

Having just read an article about General Motors being in a predicament.

I thought people can exert amazing power when you got a cliff one step behind you.

There's even an old Japanese saying , 'to put your soldiers infront of a river' so that if you go one step back, you'll drown

but since you're in such a situation, you'll fight desperately to beat the enemy.

I printed more than thirty photographs tonight.

I feel so calm working in that dark room.
