Color & Shadow (154/365)

Another crazy busy day. Up at 4 am, to drop my better half off at the airport to go see the grandkids. So that leaves me with dog-walking duty. Out into the heat for a 4 miler. The dogs looked at me funny because “Mom” always does 7+ with them. Hey, I got things to do.

Then chores and office work. I love the term “Office Work” because for me, that usually means hobby stuff! Today I completed my current printing class and did some more hard proofing. I love holding prints in my hand. If you haven’t printed any of your photography in a while, please do so. It feels good. It looks good. There is NO comparison to looking at a print on screen vs holding a print on good paper. I have a zine from Florian - I love looking at this thing. It’s beautiful to hold photography in your hand. Trust me.

So, that meant no photography time today, so you get one of the dogs and me by this very pretty flowering bushy thing…

I’m off on a trip soon, but I’m very excited to get home. I’ve carved out 2 or 3 days of just shooting pictures time. I don’t know where I’m going yet or what I’m doing, but I’ll be out there for sunrise and sunset for sure. Even in these nasty 42 °C / 107 °F temperatures. Tickle me excited.

If you’re reading this, you actually stopped by my blog. Thank you. I appreciate you. I hope it was an amazing day.

Never Stop Learning!

P.S. Three photo blogs that I look at every week, or whenever they post: (and I think you should also) Florian.photo & Jasper.Tandy.is & Daniel Pietzsch’s Photo Journal Dan also has a very cool Polaroid page.
