I got to spend the day with my son and grandson attending a University of Maryland basketball game and then having a meal together. What a great time that was. That little guy makes me feel so loved. He wanted me to carry him a lot today and he sat on my lap almost the entire game. And he wanted to sit by me for the meal. Of course I had to share my milkshake with him.
Unfortunately, Maryland didn’t win the game but I’m a winner today without a doubt. I hope I’m granted many more days together with all my children and grandchildren. This is a special week coming up also with another grandchild’s birthday celebration.
It’s also a week where the schedule is pretty open. We don’t get many of those weeks, so we had better take advantage of it. I know I’m making lots of plans already. Most of it is working on the hobbies.
Photography Thoughts of the Day
- I could make better use of my equipment. I don’t take my tripod and monopod with me enough and I’m getting older and less steady.
- Putting more images up here and being less wordy is a goal. More of my original intention also.
- I don’t have any editing tools to speak of. Just the Nikon NX crappy package that is available. And I don’t do much with that except the occasional crops and overall tonal adjustments if needed. I’m almost scared of getting something better because I don’t want to spend my days editing.
- I guess I follow journalistic rules for the most part. If I alter a photo much, I’ll label it an illustration.
- As far as the photo challenges go, I hope to participate in a few more than I do now, but I hate committing to more if I can’t be consistent at it.
- This month I’m going to challenge myself to shoot much more each day.
