Oh, a lot of people in the performing arts tend to create a false persona. I have watched documentaries on many of the stars and was surprised to see how different their lives really were compared to what they showed to society. Oh, a lot of actors have social anxieties, they just don't show it.

You sound like me at your age, I did not know which path to choose because I loved all of the arts. Oh photography is definitely an art but depending on what a person is trying to capture in a shot, they might have to sit for hours and wait for that moment to present itself. I have a pond on my little farm that is so busy with wildlife. Last year we had an otter decide to move in and I could not believe it, that was something I had never expected to see. A friend of ours does photography and he came and set up a blind and he would sit there for hours waiting for this otter to come out and feed and play so he could get pictures of it. I now have a picture of this otter thanks to my friend in case someone doesn't believe I did have an otter that came and lived at our pond for a few months. He finally moved on when the pond completely froze over. I am sure he ate a lot of my fish, and I have to be honest, I was worried that he may have ate too many. A pond needs to have fish to stay healthy and my pond is a food source for hawks and all different kinds of wild life. I also have fresh water clams in my pond that get as big if not bigger than my hands. That pond is one of my favorite things about my little farm because I love animals and wildlife so much.

I think it's important to keep in mind that with photography, it requires patience and it is not something "instant". It is definitely an art though and one has to be very observant.

Well, maybe you can see if there is a course in photography too at whatever college you look into.
