I clearly didn’t know what I was looking for this morning during the lunar eclipse. Instead I got to see a pretty awesome sunrise with some low-lying fog. It made for some great scenery. I’ll take it.

“Pick a spot and park – it’s an empty parking lot” I tell her. Any spot. I suppose it could be worse. Better here than for real, I suppose.
They’re all different – I’m just saying.

I have to ask – are all you other photographers as crazy about organizing your equipment as I am? It seems like every few months I reorganize and switch to a different style of case. I’ve got shoulder bags, backpacks, waist packs, photo belts, lens pouches and hard cases and my equipment lives in all of them at some time or another. I’m getting better about what I take to a shoot though. Nowadays, I typically take almost everything I own, but then transfer only what I need to a smaller bag for the actual shoot. Crazy, I know. Thanks goodness I have a touch of OCD otherwise this stuff would get lost in a heartbeat.
Come on, who else is like this? I just have to have my stuff organized.
I just never seems to go back in as easily as it came out!
Rush Hour in Winchester? Who knew…
So as I was taking yesterday’s One-A-Day I was getting frustrated because it wasn’t turning out like I’d planned (that’s life, right?). So I took what most people would consider a ridiculous number of photos of that orchard and started packing up. And that’s when I stumbled onto this image. You really never know what you’ll run into – kinda goes back to what I said in my post about relaxing.
It’s the end of the year. Time to reflect on what we learned in 2013 and take it into 2014.

Well, I suppose I’ve taken quite the plunge here. I’ve decided to blog. I have no idea what I’m doing or even what I might blog about.
I just recently lost a job that was part of the perfect situation. I worked in TV. I had no formal training – completely self-taught (I believe this happens more and more these days). My office was 5 minutes from my house so my commute was roughly 20 minutes shorter than the national average. And I was doing what I loved to do. Until the corporate body decided to shut it down. So I’m at a cross roads. I can’t just up and move to a bigger market (which is what typically happens) because my daughter has a year and a half left in high school. I don’t really want to commute – I really got used to how close the office was.
So I’m the newest freelancer in an increasingly saturated market of creative professionals.
This is that single step that will begin that thousand-mile journey.
Geez – I hope I get better at this.
