I stink at keeping up with things. I don't know what it is, but once I've started to fall behind I seem to just stay there. To be fair, I've had a very busy few months. My garden started growing and requiring a bit more care, the weather warmed up which left me with little indoor time. We went on vacation for a while, and though I definitely should have been using my camera more then I was instead soaking up some much needed family time.
Truth be told, I'm an all or nothing kind of gal. To enjoy and be any good at photography I feel that I have to be doing it 24/7. That each picture I take has to be better than the last, that I have to be doing something that's never been done before. Which is, of course, ridiculous. Not one of us has ever had an original thought. I will probably never come even close to the talent of so many photographers that I admire. I will probably never make much money from this little hobby of mine.
At the end of the day, none of this matters very much. I was bit by the photography bug, and I need to do it for my original love of the camera and nothing more. The rest will come in time if it's meant to be. I knew I couldn't stay away from my camera forever, never wanted or intended to anyways. But now I'm back. How consistently still remains to be seen, but I suppose that doesn't matter either. I've taken way more pictures than I post on here. I won't bombard the poor blog with the randomness of the past few months. Instead I will post my favorite. It's not my favorite for any real reason except that it's kind of moody and weird. How often do you get to see your three year old sitting next to a chimp anyways? Here's to months of weirdness.
