"Photographer,

I think I'm ready for my close-up, tonight.

Make sure you catch me from my good side."

~ Britney Spears

Why is this inanimate object a kick arse companion?

it's better than a dog as I don't have to remember to feed it

not as temperamental as a cat

it doesn't talk my ear off ( I do enough for both of us anyways)

always does exactly what I tell it

never judges

and, best of all

it makes me look good,

it's the brains behind this operation for sure.

I guess at some point I may have to upgrade to a different camera but

the one thing I know for sure is that it won't be until this one takes its last click.

“To me, photography is an art of observation. It's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place... I've found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.”

~Elliott Erwitt

~ taken through a dirty front windshield with a Canon Point and Shoot Camera in front of Kaeden's school where we had just skidded up, 5 minutes late, after a crazy nothing could go right morning, where I broke everything I touched. I was taking a few deep breaths (and as per Kaeden's request, I can't leave until he goes into the school and must wave every time he turns around and waves at me) before heading to work, looked out the window and saw this out of the corner of my eye to the southeast. I was going to get out of the car but after my morning, felt it was way safer to just stay where I was.

"...beginnings are scary, endings are usually sad, but it's the middle that counts the most. Try to remember that when you find yourself at a new beginning. Just give hope a chance to float up. And it will..." (Birdee Pruitt-Hope Floats)
