Work, as has been noted elsewhere, takes up a lot of time. I have been running around the state, looking at lakes and trees and fresh blow bluebonnets. But I have had little time to spare for my poor little blog or my writing in general.
My photography however, has been pretty good. I have been working on my lighting and posing and backgrounds, the stuff that I have the most direct control over. The expressions, well, that is another story. I can catch a few goods one now and then, but most people just have this set idea about how they should look and which way they should turn their face. This makes it hard to get a perfect exposure.
Of course, I am not working at some Hollywood shop when Arnold and Angelina and George are likely to drop by for a sitting. Doesn’t mean I can’t have the desire to take cool images.
I don’t have cable at home, so I enjoy watching the shows while I am not working. It is amazing that there is so much junk on and even more amazing that I find myself liking so much of it. I am a great fan of shows where people remodel their bathrooms and brag about only spending thirty thousand dollars to do it. I also like the shows were people try to sell their junk at auctions. But really, my favorite guilty pleasure of the cable shows is Myth Busters, were a couple of oddballs blow things up for absolutely no reason at all. Now that’s entertainment.
I also end up eating a lot of fast and not so fast food. Stuff that will kill me no doubt in the fullness of time. But it is pretty good most of the time right now. I like most things deep dried. Hmm, deep fried. . .
So I have been out and about, unable to work on my art, or my writing, or my blog or, well, much of anything but work. The pay is not too bad, but it could be better. Still, it is the best job I have ever had. So why do I still stand around and think about quiting? Because I want to start my own business of some sort again. Maybe be a photographer and keep more of the money for myself. Or maybe that is just a pipe dream that everyone who works for someone else has. If these clowns can do it. . .
I am tired, roaming the land and eating lots of fats will do that to a body.
I do plan on writing a bit more, but only time will tell if I actually do, or just think about it once in a while.
