Nine.

9.

It's such a small number in the relation of all the other numbers that we count.
For example; Pi. 3.14 are the first 3 numbers. Arguably, it's one of the most famous number stand in mathematics.
But what's interesting is that the first 3 numbers are smaller than 9 and even when they are added up don't even equal 9.
So relative to 3.14, 9 is quite big. But if you write out Pi. You will never stop writing numbers. It's endless.
9 ends up being insignificant.
But when you measure time, 9 can be quite a short time, or an unfathomable or immeasurable amount of time.

9 Seconds. 0-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9.... its over. 
9 Minutes. Okay, watch a YouTube video.
9 Days? Sure, go on vacation. 
9 Months. Well, you just had a baby.
9 Years. Okay it's getting to be a long time now. 

Lets skip ahead. 

9 Decades. = 90 Years.
9 Centuries. = 900 Years
9 Millenniums. = 9000 Years
9 Eons. = 9x Unmeasurable.

Crazy, right? Well I'm here to commemorate 9 Years. 

Thats an entire 4-year High School and 5-year College career combined! (You decided to take a few extra classes.)
That's a respectable amount of experience in a field of interest for a high-paying job!
That's the time it takes to have a child, then enroll him/her into 3rd or 4th Grade.

That's the length of time I've had an account on DeviantArt.
Crazy.

I admit, I don't post regularly.
I occasionally browse the site and year after year I see that number climbing.
It's just amazing how time flies.

So, this morning I was skimming through my own gallery here on DevArt. I went back into my early high school years and couldn't help but chuckle a little bit to myself. Man, was I BAD!! I was so sure I knew what I was doing... with a totally automatic Sony Mini CD digital camera. Oh man, could I be any more wrong?

Well this goes to show you the exponential progression, artistically, someone can have when they literally jump into it with no training. Being passionate about my work has led me down paths that I could only have taught myself.

Someone I recently met said to me: "There's something seriously beautiful about any form of communication that can't be expressed through verbal language." Well by god, I couldn't agree more. Stick through it. Work it out. Expand your knowledge of the subject that you are truly passionate about, and why not... buy some gear that you want. haha

The point is, I took something I liked (and was really bad at =P) and turned it into something I love and am not too shabby at. I make a living off of it!

How rare. Cheers!
