Thank you God!   I have a back up camera, an awesome one at that!   I have never had to use it until yesterday.    Right in the middle of a shoot my shutter decides it is done.  Done.  Plain done.   I wrangled up my back up, finally got some good charges on the lifeless batteries and continued.   Thank you God!   I shipped my baby off to New Jersey today.  

The best thing about the situation, I realized my old trusty did a better job at one particular thing I do.  Now, old trusty will always have his batteries charged and get some use again even when my new camera comes home!

Funny thing - I fogot how much I loved how old trusty felt in my hands, how heavy he was and just fit so nicely on my trigger finger.   I also forgot how much I love the sound he makes when the shutter is clicked.  It is strong, solid and sexy.  I know, hard to imagine, but to me, wow, I love it!  So what started as such a sad thing has turned out to be a fun thing for me.   Welcome back into my life old trusty, I didn’t know how much I missed yoU!

 Thank you Lisa, Paige, Mylee, Dannette and Dawna for loving me up yesterday during the whole process.  I appreciate it! 

 Tomorrow I am speaking at a statewide women’s conference for a particular branch of the state government.  I have two hours on the agenda.  Do you think for one minute that I can talk that long?  Don’t answer  : )

Seriously though, the women will get to see lots of photographs and get to peer inside my soul.  I hope I can give them a break from all their work stress and step into the joy I feel (most) every day.   I’ll cross my fingers that I don’t cry but I’m hoping I get a few of them to. 

 While looking through images for my presentation, I thought I’d post an early in my career favorite perfect for the season.   This image has been used many times in local Newton brochures, visitor booth images etc.     I love seeing it in print!
