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!
