I'm a Litte Tired

It's been a busy week.

My 2009 is filling up really quickly it seems. Between shooting photos, editing photos, reading about shooting and editing photos, my job, volunteer activities, hanging out with friends, and just doing all those every day normal things like eating, coffee drinking, laundry, house cleaning and what not, I think I'm going to be a busy gal!

This is good.

A dating relationship that I was in for a number of years, ended over two years ago now. I've dated a bunch of guys in the mean time, but nothing that's lasted. It's tough to be single and watch those around you quickly meet wonderful guys and form lasting relationships.

Now what I'm NOT saying is that photography is filling a void in my life or that I'm desperately wanting to date someone.

No, in fact I'm realizing that even if I wanted to date someone right now, there just isn't the time to put any effort into it. That's great! All those late night phone conversations, dates, worrying, anxiety...effort... is being funnelled into something productive. And even better... a life goal; one that doesn't depend on someone else to make me happy.

I can shoot pictures for myself, when I want to, or when I've set aside time to shoot for someone else. It can be at midnight, middle of the day or early in the morning (uh that one's probably not going to happen often). I don't have to please photography. I can't let it down. It won't get upset if I'm late. It doesn't get annoyed if I'm in a crappy or whiney mood. I don't have to cook it dinner or worry if it really cares about me.

All that is really cool!

Even though I'm tired or maybe even borderline on exhausted I'm happier than a clam.

More soon...

Another Photography Blog?

Yeah, great...just what the world needs right? Another photography blog...cuz there's just not enough out there already. Alright so I'm not looking to make a big impact on the photographic world or to change the way anyone thinks about any of this sort of stuff, but sometimes it pays to have a place to share your musings about this lens, camera, chimping thing.

I'm hoping in the next year to see some more improvement in my picture making skills, which I'm sure there will be. I'm also hoping in the next year to have one or two paying photography gigs...fingers crossed on that one.

So really I want this blog to be about sharing my latest photographic discoveries and musings, my latest projects and what keeps me picking up my camera on a regular basis.

There are some other things in the works, but I'm just not ready to share any of that quite yet.

More later...
