Last Day of 2015

Yikes! After tonight the year is over.

People tend at this time of year to look back over the past 365 days and evaluate it... attempt to summarize it... even make promises or goals for the coming year.  I respect that.  I'm just not one to do that.

I don't mean to be flippant here, really.  I don't.  It's just not me.  I get bogged down in morose aspects of it, relive embarrassing moments wherein I want to hide away from society altogether, or cringe with regret about my thoughtless antics.

You see, I'm flawed.  I have regrets.  I make mistakes.  But those don't discount all the good that exists either.  So instead of getting caught up in the past year, I'm focusing on the present... what's good in it that grounds me, anchors me, keeps me here.

Happy New Year!

Pretty People

All I can say about what I've learned along the way is that, all other photography skills aside, it's easier photographing beautiful people. And I've been quite fortunate to have been able to almost exclusively photograph beautiful people. Lucky photographer am I!

Don't believe me?  Check out my last post.  Or check out the photos here:

Adorable, right?

I don't lie about things like this.  Other things, yes.  This? No.

I mean, look at them!  They enjoy having their pictures taken, too, so it's a double-win to me.

Starting Again

Well.  It's been a couple of years since I last wrote anything here or shared a photo.  I don't know where time goes!

I know I've been distracted by life; my focus the past few years has been on health, through learning about nutrition, cooking and baking healthier recipes (even developed several of my own), gardening, and exercise.  Unfortunately that has allowed some things, like this internet space and even my photography, to take a back seat.

As a (very casual) hobbyist my photography is still here.  Fortunately I have some friends who like to make use of my skills, which makes me incredibly happy.  I think I'll start out here again with sharing some recent images.
