It's Been So Long..

...that I actually had a "Welcome back to Flickr" comment on one of my pictures. Has it really been that long? Apparently, 6 months or so. Wow. It's amazing how things fall through the cracks when life gets crazy.

I've still been working (albeit slowly) on the "Impressions Through a Pinhole" book. My motivation ebbs and flows, which is to be expected in any creative endeavor. I have rolls of film just waiting to be scanned! In time, in time...

With this new year, I've decided to "share the love" with all my various toys. It seems I have cameras (and "toy lenses") I've completely forgotten about! So, I've written all of their names (including the Lensbaby & Pinhole Bodycap) on small slips of paper that I will pick out weekly. The goal is to use only that camera for the week and shoot at least 1 roll of film.

That should mean I should have at least 1 blog post a week, too. Just in case you missed me!

I like that idea. I've always loved the role of chance in art. I look forward to seeing what you do.

Good to see you posting again! I like the slips-of-paper randomizer idea - when you've got a lot of camera gear, it can be hard to decide which to give a little love to next. Good luck with it and I look forward to viewing the results.

This photo is breathtaking, Shari! "Welcome Back to Blogging."

I think the idea of using a different camera for a week is brilliant. There's a book idea, too...

Thanks for your email. I am pondering a response. I'll be in touch.
