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.

Cluck-a-doodle-dooooooooo.

Today I did it. Every morning I drive past a garden supply store on my way to work. And every morning I look at the rooster statue standing more than 5' tall in front of it and think, "I want a picture of him." And then I drive by. I'm either too late for work. Or just not in the mood. Or it's raining. Or I've got other things on my mind. In other words I'm full of excuses. I have spent more time reasoning myself out of taking that picture than it would have taken to just pull over and snap it. What changed today? The Details in the Fabric. It was recommended that I listen to this Jason Mraz song and pay attention to the lyrics. So, I did...and in listening I decided to stop paralyzing myself. To stop driving by just because I'm preoccupied or feeling lost. "Calm Down. Deep Breaths. And get yourself dressed. Instead of running around and pulling all of your threads. And breaking yourself up." And that's what I need to do. The way I&#

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.
