I\u2019ve fallen into that trap countless times. Something has always stood in the way<\/em>\u2026<\/p>\n

  • In photography: the weather was not right. I didn\u2019t have atelier access. I was out of film. A model was too busy. I wasn\u2019t in a creative mood.<\/li>\n
  • In programming: seems that I never had the right<\/em> development platform. I\u2019ve been using Windows for the last two years to simplify things, and Windows isn\u2019t programmer-friendly. I didn\u2019t have a laptop, so I couldn\u2019t work in a cafe. I didn\u2019t have enough RAM to run that virtual machine. A JTAG adapter was broken and I didn\u2019t have time to fix it.<\/li>\n
  • In blogging: I could simply never decide which platform to use. Self-hosted, or a service? WordPress or Tumblr? Photos or words? Private or public? Photography or electronics?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    This list could go on and on, but I\u2019m not here to bore the reader. Things went this way for years\u2026 then, one day, something happened. I can\u2019t pinpoint the exact moment, but some day I realized I\u2019m actually overcoming all the obstacles instead of creating them. One day, something clicked<\/em>.<\/p>\n

    I\u2019m writing this sitting in a crammed kitchen. I\u2019m in the process of renovating my studio and most of my life takes place in the kitchen – so there\u2019s a huge PC workstation taking most of the table, stacks of vinyl LPs and a turntable on the counters, stacks of papers on the windowsill, a guitar in the corner and various boxes containing electronics everywhere around. I even had a TV and an old Amiga A1200 computer on the floor for a few days.<\/p>\n

    Does this lack of space prevent me from doing my work?<\/p>\n

    An important part of an artist\u2019s awakening is realizing that living isn\u2019t about creating a perfect world where you can go along with the flow freely. Life is about going forward despite<\/em> and against<\/em> the odds and the (sometimes harsh) reality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
