I haven't disappeared I just have a lot going on......just to worn out to do it (photography) now.
all is well just dealing with some tough descisions regarding church (which is about 75 - 99.9 % of our lives) which affect almost alll decisions in my life.Working thru not blaming or undrestimating God and His faithfulness. Dealing and accepting people's shortcomings perceptions and adaptations of what Christianity is within our church and working thru not being judgemental and realizing I need to work on my tolerance of people and their "shortcomings". Also been praying for a church that doesn't "adapt" bible doctrine and where it's members live there lives as scripturally sound as possible and whose convictions about the bible are the same as ours.
And working thru being grateful fo the things I have and not focusing on things I want for our lives. Working thru some meaty issues from life growing up as a teen that have come to a head and I have to deal with if I want to stop drowning in the glasses of water that life presents.
I'm also just coping with re-entry into the real world from vacation.
I'm also a little photoed out. Tired of the process of cropping and sizing,etc. just tired Also tired of seeing things and feeling a need to get the shot---just stepping back and seeing the world thru my eyes without a camera in my face all the time. I'm tired of the work involved in exposures, DOF, lense used,blah blah even recharging a battery
Trying to make some decisions regarding the road I want to take with "business" end of things and developing a business and what genre I want to work within
alsoworking on some setting up a portfolio package for an uncle of Larry's who is the CEO of an office furniture company. They need someone to shoot finished installations of set ups for promotional and record keeping purposes. And he was there this weeked and had no idea I "did" photography and asked me to get things together to present to the higher ups. He says it's a one shot deal---if I'm not ready, he will wait for me to be ready...he's a wonderful guy. And they have been looking for someone for a while to do this type of work.
I'm also stressing about a wedding I have coming up in two weeks. I decided between the time I commited and now that hate wedding photogrphy and it's not my nitche but I have to deliver and they aren't paying me much ( somewhat of a favor) but they are very picky and particluar(already told me where and how to shoot the shots of family---we have a meeting to "discuss" those directoons) I don't function or create well in those circumstances...(itching)
Joe(our oldest) has court in a week as well and is up for 7 different charges so his fate is unknown still and leaving it in God's hands is sometimes easier said than done--- but I'm trying....
That is the scoop in a nutshell. I'm just emotionally worn out and creatively stretched...
Other than that I'm well and rested.
I'll be back to myself soon enough... ;)
hugs and smooches to all
And I really appreciate the concern and emails...
Does anyone know where Oldtimer has gone? Haven't seen him in a while
Hope everyone is well (itching still)
