Well, where did the time go? My goal to put pics up for my Mom fell through…. She is now home and I didn’t get them up. *Sigh* Sorry Mom! Life has just been so crazy busy……. Now that you are home to babysit maybe I can get it done! lol ;o)
On another very different subject. Typing while holding a baby is not easy! lol Actually what I was going to say was that those of you who have known me since youth should be very glad that my scanner/printer isn’t speaking with my computer right now! In cleaning up a mess I stumbled upon my box of old photos…… Old polaroids, and old pics from my first little point and shoot that used, *gasp*, film! ;o) I have been unable to look through all of them as I have always had a love for photography and this resulted in a very large collection of pics. The pics are soooo funny! At least I can see some progress in my photography skills! I am going to sort through them and toss a lot of them. I have entire rolls of film that were processed without 1 pic being in focus!!! These were some of my first attempts at macro photography with a camera that did not have macro capabilities. So funny to look at and maybe funnier yet that I kept them. I am such a pack rat! Working on that character weakness though. If I can ever get my scanner to work I may have to share some of them. :o) We all need a good laugh sometimes……
So, does anyone else go through photography phases? Sometimes I do so good and get lots of kids pics and then I go for too long without. I looked through my pics to get the photo posts up for Mom and found that I have hardly taken any pics of the older 3 the last few months. The last really good picture taking spree was in June and has been very sporadic since then. Now I have missed the best weather and am not very good at indoor pics. Oh well, I will just have to keep pressing forward.
Inspired by this post, I am going to try and blog more often. No promises though, I often have good intentions that get lost in the craziness of life!
Well, enough rambling for today…..
I guess I'm one of those who should be glad your scanner isn't working! I'd imagine you have some blackmail-worthy pics of me from our wild childhood together :o).
ReplyDeleteI went the whole summer without taking pictures--in fact, when I uploaded my photos to Shutterfly last night, I realized my site was still decorated for spring! I guess life just gets in the way sometimes, you know?
And lastly, I'm glad to have inspired you! Guess you're not a cactus kind of girl either :o) In case decorating your blog inspires you to write more--the new template designer on Blogger is easy to use and lets you pick the number of columns (1-3) and then adjust the width of each column with a slider bar. Let me know if you want some help!
Forget the scanner, just use your camera and take pictures of old pictures. I did this and it turned out better than the scanner. Better resolution and then you can edit the pictures of the old pictures and lighten them up a bit if needed (which is often the case with old family candid shots). It's so much easier too. Now you don't have an excuse for not sharing old embarrassing photos!
