As a favor to a co-worker I took some "picture-perfect" family Christmas photos for her Christmas cards. But after we took care of that, I got to snap some shots of Julia being herself -- loving her toes and hugging on her owl toy.
So a couple of weeks ago, my digital nikon was damaged by one of the crazy animals in the house. Well it was mostly the lens damaged. For a while I used some spare lens I had, but nothing was very inspiring. So to help bring the inspiration, I decided to take it back to my days of the Nikon FM2. Good ol film. You can't go wrong. And so far, it has proven to still be true.
Exhausted, I push open the heavy door. It gets heavier as a gush of wind rushes inward, trying to push me back inside. But nothing can make me turn around, Nothing can make me turn back into that place. I glance up, looking for a glimpse of something from the city. This is all she gives me. Until tomorrow, my love, I will return wanting the same.
It's obvious from my lack of blogging that photos and photo frequency have been failing recently. I tried to go out and take photos of the local Zombie walk but that night was a failure from when I first walked in the door. I was immediately intimidated by the other people there to do the same -- document the happening. Then when I finally convinced myself that the people WANTED their pic taken, my camera flash died. Then on my way back from picking up a friend and batteries, a drunk man backed into the car I was driving... blah, blah, blah. A total waste of a night.
Then I wanted to take pics when my family came to visit and none of them seemed to capture anything interesting. I am becoming way too busy with my new job and other activities.
Excuses, excuses, excuses...
So! in a recent attempt to capture something, anything, here is the following photo.
