      I'm not saying it as an inherently negative or depressing thing - it can be, in certain ways, but in others its simply an accommodation.

      At 19 I was studying photography, my theoretical path was grad school, teaching, gallery shows. (Except I was studying at a state school with no juice in the art world so... not really.) At 38, I'm saving up for my first good camera in a while - my path is more sociology than gallery. I want to document the disappearing human landscape.

      I never had an active desire for children - it's more a recognition that even if things lined up for the right forever relationship, socioeconomic status and age make them less plausible.
