I see that my OS on both computers got an update as well as a new version of chrome again. I feel mentally refreshed after a good 7 hours of sleep. The body feels otherwise. I left the camera batteries charging this morning and we are ready to roll again. Unfortunately, the weather outside is cloudy and rain starts this afternoon.
So making the best of a less than optimal day and continuing to learn.
Photography Journey Day 14 – 11/14/24
I love getting outside when it’s nice to take photographs. I struggle when it’s not so nice to get motivated and creative. I have a chance to work on that weakness today.
So, I thought what do I shoot inside because I had just put the cover on the car.
I thought about what is unique about the interior of the house. Ahh, the granddaughter’s growth record on my sons doorframe. She gets so excited when I make a new mark. I got to get a picture of her smile someday when we are doing that measurement. Better yet a video. That will have to be another day.
Then I opened a box of things I was sorting of my father’s trying to decide what to keep and organize. In it was his WWII googles. I said let me get this and share its history. I believe he also had a similar pair for Operation Deep Freeze.
Photo Tasks accomplished today
- Went through 200 slides and only kept about half. I have thousands to go.
- Started to organize about 2-300 prints by category and file with existing ones.
- While stretching the back out on the floor I reached over and grabbed a few volumes of photo history (below) and skimmed.
Random Thoughts of the Day
- I smile at the memory of going with my Son to get our haircuts at Sal’s Barbershop and then having breakfast at the Forest Diner. I can’t believe that was decades ago.
- I’m too old for the amount of conflict coming. Don’t get me wrong though, I can still give it out.
- I wonder if this camera I just purchased is my last? Given the length of time I use cameras I could be a very old man when this one bites the dust. If so I hope it gets a good workout before I go.
- I haven’t heard my daughters voice in a while. I miss it.
- My mind is getting weak, pain and discomfort are taking over thought and creative juices.
