Tuesday

Here it is the last day of August...and it feels like the end of summer. Not that the
weather is indicative, but the feeling is there just the same. An "ending" sort of feeling,
with a bit of melancholy tossed on top, not serious, but still present.
I'm off to California in the morning early so this will be my last post till I get back.
Now I have to go and decide which cameras I'll be taking along and whether to take a
laptop at all or just load all the cards up. I have tons 0f stuff to finish before I can go
but yesterday's headache took a lot more out of me than I thought. I feel lethargic.
I still have not heard anything about gmail from blogger. I was told that if I started a blog, I'd get an invite...not yet!
If anyone reads this (seeminly not likely) *and* they know how to get a gmail invite, let me know!

Busy busy!

Sometimes life just gets busy all on it's own and you feel more like you're just along for the ride!
Right now that's what I'm feeling like. Tomorrow I have a list of things to get done that is actually longer than my arm! IF I were to figure everything out time and trip wise and had every moment coordinated so I'd not be retracing my steps all day long I might get it all done.
Then I have to make a quick trip down to the Napa region of northern CA for a couple of days.
That will really put a crimp in my plans for getting stuff together for a gallery evaluation on the
8th of Sept. I need to have a little time to concentrate on getting just the right images together for the eval meeting with the gallery owner. If I get a show sometime next year, it would be great as the location is superb and lots and lots of foot traffic goes through the gallery. So if I have so much on my plate why am I here blogging it all down? (is blogging an accepted verb yet?) I dunno, but I can't get most if what needs to be done today because it's Sunday!
I have to grab a camera and get out and shoot some sunflowers before they all go to seed and look like crap! See ya!

day 2

Hey! here I am again! Today will be a busy day, I have so much to get done
before the evening! I need to remember to get the 6X10 negs down to processing
so I can see if they even CAN make a neg carrier for it and get me some prints done
today...if not I have to go back up to Seattle and deal with prolab and see which of my
testicles they want to get it done right. God I wish I could make the money they do!
There's a Kerry rally here in Tacoma on Saturday, I think I'll go and try and get some
crowd shots and such for the portfolio, maybe something I can use at the gallery eval later.
I still have not figured out this blog thing entirely yet but I think I may be getting closer to
having a clue! I'm still looking for what the method is for getting a gmail invite from here.
If you see this and know how, leave a comment for me please!

Good night

good night, it's getting late, and I'm starting to get
a little tired. Lots to do tomorrow, gotta get the
cameras fired up and get some sunflower photography
done!
drop me a note if you read this!
night!

I'm wondering!

Hmmm, I just read some random blogs and now a wee bit of an idea is forming!
It seems there are bloggers (is that a word now?) from all over the place, not just the
USA! I was reading one from a lady in Egypt ( can you save a bunch of links to "favorite" blogs?)and it occurred to me that I could find good places to go and photograph by reading some interesting blogs! If you live in an interesting place then let me know about it! I'm primarily a nature photographer but I'm interested in most things that get in front of my camera!

first pondering!

Here I am, all alone in my first blog. Who'd think that a 50 something photographer
would want to do this? Perhaps this will just be a place to sort out some of my thoughts
or keep a bit of a journal to rediscover myself. Maybe it will become somewhat of an organizer and help me keep track of all the "stuff" that goes on in my life! Anyway, if you read this and you're not me...I guess I invited you!
