I'm Sorry

I’ve been a selfish blogger recently…and I’m sorry.

I’ve been trying to collect my self – anxiety is on high and I really want to make my way through it without spreading it like the plague. So, with that, I have gone a bit silent.

I’m on a retreat inside my head.

But I will share this little something I wrote about photography – my reason to cling the art form…my inspiration for my own work.

“Although a photo lens can capture an image in the hands of anyone – a photo isn’t art until it can transport you, absorb you, bring you into a moment entirely outside of your own.

I want my photos to have sound, taste and emotion – all instigated by the eye.”

I am not supper imaginative when taking photos, my eye is caught by the color or the light or an expresion especially on the face of children. but artistic no... just enjoy taking photos that help me share my experiences with others. enjoy the moment, take the photo, save the 1 in 100 that is really good in a seperate file, pretty soon you will be getting 5 in 100 then 10 in 100 really good ones.... but number one enjoy yourself.

Yep, we all need a little retreat inside our heads every now and then. Thank you for your kind words to me earlier today. I love what you wrote about your photography. That in itself, is art, the way you articulaated your words.

Friday Shootouts - Power (Zest for Life)

I took power to mean "zest for life". And this is where I get mine. Hanging out with people that know what it means to be alive and have fun. Drinking tea, receiving inspirational quotes, and photography. Reading as much as I possibly can. And good old sunshine when we are blessed enough to see it!

Friday Shootout - Outdoor Food

Outdoor Happy Hour at one of Cleveland's treasures - The Great Lakes Brewing Company. We made it up there for Christmas in July to sample the Year's First public Christmas Ale on tap. It's dark, delicious and in this season 8% alcohol by content - or so that's what we were told anyways. Needless to say by the middle of my third I was feeling pretty "good". Enjoy a night of eating outdoors with me in Cleveland.

Check Yes or No

I personally haven't been on the receiving end of a "yes or no" letter written on three hole punched lined paper for many many years. Well, until yesterday. Please have a look at what the 13 or 15 year old (he wasn't sure when questioned by the cops about his age or year of birth) spanish speaking neighbor of ours was leaving in the door when Maura stopped him and asked him to hand it over. This all happened at 10 pm. Needless to say we sent our response in the form of a police officer to his home. The boy explained to the officers that the letter was just a mix up. He had one in his hand for his girlfriend and then one for us that was going to be asking us to join him at chuch (which happened to be what he told Maura the letter was about when he handed it over to her.) Very common mistake...sex proposition and church. Especially from a 13/15 year old. So had we not sent the cops over I guess he was coming back to see what the response was. If he had been a bit o...
