Jim Reverend Well, if I died tomorrow I don't think anything about this world would make me happy... since I'd be dead and either rotting in the ground or concerned with something greater.
These things don't really even make me happy while I'm alive. To some extent they do. But it's not the project that makes me happy, is the benefits those projects have the potential to produce that makes me happy. Even photographing women in various states of undress can get boring after time. But meeting new people, seeing new ideas come forth, forging new lasting relationships, and instigating thought or emotion in other people... those things do make me feel very good about myself.
I don't mind the hippie route. In fact, I partake in that philosophy a bit myself. And I don't think what I'm doing counteracts that. Happiness and fulfilment are always the end goal. It's where that happiness comes from that changes.
