Hello October!

What's this, you ask?  The portal to another realm.  Close, but no.  It's the inside of a Perrier bottle.  If you could shrink your head to squeeze inside the lip this is most likely what you'd see.  I find it interesting how easy it is to make common things foreign just by getting a strange angle.  Kind of like life lately.  I still have the same friends and I'm still in the same station in life but suddenly all these common things surrounding me are taking on a different form.  It's funny when you get to the point where you realize that this is a new stage.  The number of my friends that either don't have kids or aren't married has considerably dwindled and now my unmarried, childless self is a minority.  Time seems to be oblivious or indifferent to my denial.  Suddenly I'm an adult and the days of being young and carefree have become fond memories.  I guess I just have to start looking at everything from a different angle.  Evolve with life.  Appreciate everything.    


On a separate, not quite so whiny and introspective note, I feel like I'm ready to burst out of my skin.  I'm just aching to go and shoot some interesting pictures in L.A. or somewhere.  I think that will be my mission for Saturday.  Just take the trusty old 35 mm camera out on a day trip.  Get the creative juices flowing.  Last night we had a demonstration on the Hasselblad camera.  It made me eager to start shooting with it.  Such a beautiful camera!  The negatives on the Hasselblad are about 2" square and have multiple times the clarity of 35 mm.  The outcome of the pictures is so clear that it causes an entirely different ethereal feel than 35 mm.  Can't wait to get out there!!!
