The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. ~ Einstein

I am starting to enjoy this adventure of my own love story. I am also discovering something quite different than I expected. I hadn't realized how often my strengths were criticized. I am insatiably curious. If there is a closed door, I want to open it. If there something half hidden, I will find out what it is. I test things to find out what happens. My pictures are often 10 shots from all different angles or waiting months to see if the roses will dry how I want them to look in a picture. If I want to know how something works, I try it. True some of my experiments have been less than safe and my guardian angel is going to have some very strong words with me. None the less, I am always curious. Recently I accidentally poured too much oil into a batch of salt dough. Instead of pitching it right away, I finished making it. It turned out to be smoother and more pliable play dough, I will note this on the recipe and possibly do it again. In photography, non-silver photography process called multiple gum prints. This is layer upon layer of color built up using gum bichromate. http://www.alternativephotography.com/wp/processes/gum-bichromates/a-non-silver-manual-gum-bichromate
This process involved using goggles and face masks. I took two semesters and instead of the water colors I used powdered pigment. I discovered that working with powdered pigments in this process mixing blue and red created a olive green. Totally different results than I expected. I have a huge notebook of information on these processes. After two semesters I decided I was done and moved on to something else to explore. Working in the computer labs I ran experiments as to why certain things didn't work in the lab. That was how I found out that companies that build monitors define 100% blue as royal blue and the printer companies 100% blue is navy blue. No small wonder that the printers drove the students crazy. What you looked at was not what you got. I remember in biology enjoying dissecting the worms and frog. I was criticized, teased, called names (Nerd) because I was curious and wanted to figure things out. I recognize now that curiosity is a strength for me. I am curious and enjoy exploring the world around me.
