I want to introduce you to the insanity of a photographer…maybe it is the hours of mind-numbing time spent editing thousands of pictures, (I’m going cross-eyed, I swear!) but there is a burden that every professional photographer bears when they choose this as a career…
No longer can I casually walk into an establishment, or drive through town, or even glance over at the bowl sitting on the kitchen counter without noticing lighting, angles, reflections, colors, bokeh maybe? Shadows or OMG that is the perfect aperture opportunity! It haunts me!! When my family, or kids, even my husband (who has dreamy blue eyes to get lost in) talks to me, I cannot help but think “this shot would be perfect with the sun shining back behind him…oh wait, what did he say?” It is truly photography insanity, and I do not think there is a cure! If I thought it would earn me a day in bed with the covers over my head, sleeping indulgently, I would use it..heh.
On a more personal note, a love affair has ended. For almost sixteen months, she cherished the friendship, holding tightly, never has she smiled so much. They did everything together, her dearest companion, second only to the other love of her life, daddy…Madeleine has said a mournful goodbye to her precious bottle. Trading it in for a sippy cup (much to my JOY!), but fond are the memories…and every so often she will glance longingly at Elly’s bottle, remembering…my baby is growing up! Walking, talking, sippy-cup-drinking…it won’t be long and she’ll be driving (oh wait, they moved the age to 18 years, we’re good.)
Enough Rambling…back to editing..just booked another shoot for 2009…happy Thursday!
