I visited my parents in Milwaukee last week, saw some old friends and visited the church I was in. The video crew members were eager to see me. I was thinking it would be really cool if I could do one of the cameras, but didn't hold my hopes high. It would be unrealistic to expect them to not have everyone scheduled arrive on the Sunday I visited. Well sure enough they had an empty spot, so I took advantage. It was amazing even after 2 years of not operating a video camera, I still was able to follow directions and pull it off as if I had done it just the week before.

I'm in a good mood at the moment. Thinking back over things and looking over my most recent photos I feel like for the first time in a while that I truly have a gift in something and the passion to pursue it. For me showing off my work has been one of my toughest struggles. I'm proud of my stuff, but what if not everyone has the same thrill looking at it that I do? Then what do I do?
That's been one of my hang-ups lately. Right now at this moment it doesn't seem to have the negative effect it has other times. I feel strong. I feel like going out around the neighborhood taking random pictures, annoying neighbors, and getting awesome shots of flowers, bugs, birds, trees - whatever catches my eye. I did just that these last few days and the results were pleasing.
Recently I set up a few photo blogs to feature some of my favorite photos. You can find them by clicking the blog roll on the right. Rather than make new blog posts for every new group of photos, I may make blog posts related to themes and edit them to add new photos.
Oh and on an off topic note I found this article rather amusing. I meant to blog about it earlier. I wonder if I should join Twitter just to make a "One post Wonder"?
Perhaps it would read something like this: Let's see, I already have a blogger account, a yahoo group, livejournal blog, a deviantart account, flickr account faceboook account and likely registered with more sites than I can list, so it's no wonder I can't keep track of them all. So many media and so little time and modivation....lol.
But chances are I'd get hooked and be wasting my time on another site...so for now I think I'll wait, but it is sure tempting....
