missing my camera
The January SnapShop registration filled up last week and it began yesterday….which is funny because I am teaching a dslr workshop and I currently don’t have a dslr!
A year ago I took my camera in for a repair. When I went to pick it up, I got scolded for its dirtiness. I was also surprised at the huge difference it made in photo quality to have it cleaned professionally. I decided that I would make a point to have it cleaned once a year. January is usually a good time for me to part with it ~ if there is ever a good time to part.
I walked away from Tulsa Camera Clinic confident in the woman that runs the shop, but nervous leaving my camera behind. Ughhhhhh. I feel a bit lost without it. I’ve got to get my motivation up to use the camera on my phone in the normal mode, until then I just snapped a few completely random things with Hipstamatic. I like random. I like square pictures.
1. I am wanting to hang some lanterns from the branch on my living room wall, but they are way too bright….a little sun bleaching will help
2. Getting ready for Craft Weekend…
3. Matching coffee tin and family heirloom percolator (for our next camping trip)
4. Getting ready for Craft Weekend…again
5. A gift from The Color Happy….it is very “Yoda-ish”
6. A gift from Fresh Entity (my chicken wire wall is actually very practical!)
1. Moving things around on my living room wall: print by Katie Daisy, Frame by The Lollywood Shop, hankie from Southern Hospitality
2. Look at those stairs in progress. Not done, but getting there.
3. Everyone wrestles in this house….it is how we solve most disagreements.
4. Some new headbands from Lou & Lee…I’m optimistic that FireCracker will wake up one day loving hair accessories
5. Cute stool I found at The Tulsa Flea Market…we have 6 chairs and needed one more!
6. Chris’ mom gave him a binder of schoolwork from his elementary days, they’ve had fun reading it
1. My oldest
2. A new mug from a friend (which I recently discovered Buggie & Bean’s mommy loves it too)
3. My three year old
4. Part of last week’s art journal
5. My two year old
6. Part of last week’s art journal
7. My 5 year old
8. Oh leggings, you make me happy
9. A thoughtful gift…hand made, so sweet
My camera is really heavy, it is hard for my kids to hold…my iphone is much easier. They love taking pictures of me with it. I usually let them ~ I figure if I don’t want them to fight me when I photograph them, I have to set that example. Usually it works. I do, however, look at these and think, Wow…longer straight hair really accentuates my massive forehead, better not clip those bangs back anymore.
