Frozen in time
We had snow this week and I wanted a snowflake pic but didn’t have the energy to break out the big camera so I tried to get one with my phone. This snowflake only exists here now. I love this shot!

New year, Same Me??
The grind begins again. Another year where I say that I will make changes, but will this be another year, like all the past ones, that I don’t? I hope not. This will be the second year since Mom died, and I still feel as rudderless as I did in the months after she died.…

Overthinking, Over Analyzing
I continue to be stuck in this loop of thinking about big life decisions, planning out how to implement them, getting discouraged, getting depressed, giving up and then restarting the whole process. I’m afraid. I’m afraid to make the wrong decision or mess up the right decision so I don’t make any decision which is…

In A Rut
I’m stuck. My creative wheels are spinning and I’m not making any progress. I made my first “real” Youtube video almost 2 months ago and while I have ideas for more I haven’t taken any action to turn them into a reality. Every day that passes I beat myself for not taking even a single…

Back in 2017 I went to the inaugural event and had an absolute blast! This time was no different. I like this event because it’s smaller than Overland Expo…

For the second year in a row I went to Overland Expo East and for the second year in a row I had an absolute blast! I’m not a social person and typically when I go camping I intentionally go to places where I’m less likely to encounter people. I think that’s a lot of…

Goings On
End of July and pretty much the entire month of August was a pretty rough stretch for me. July marked a one year anniversary of my mom’s death and then my birthday was at the end of August. I suppose that I am officially in my “late 40’s” which is not a thought that brings…

Film Photography
In a recent post I mentioned that I bought a couple of film cameras and I finally got the scans back from the 1st color I roll I put through my Rolleiflex Model T yesterday. Out of 16 exposures I ended up getting 13 and most looked pretty ok, which surprised me because this camera…
