Mr. Camera

I’m sorry for my sporadic blogging behavior. I blame it on the sporadic camera behavior that my Nikon is exhibiting. You see, he decides that some days he wants to take pictures and other days, well, he just refuses. I’ve talked with him about this, how my blogging hinges on whether or not I have pictures to illustrate the miniscule amount of words I actually type in my online journal here, but he’s not too sympathetic to my case. He doesn’t realize that my blogging time is limited, and when I do have something to talk about, I need to have a reliable tool to capture in a picture what I refuse to type in words. Sure, I do have hands that can draw pictures on paper that can be scanned into a computer that can be put on this blog that will say what I can’t convey with words, but who has time for that?

Okay… I might have a little time…

Well, maybe we should discuss picture content in our negotiations before I make any further threats.

Reunited and it feels so good

After a week and a half without my camera, I finally got it back. I’m pretty sure my kids did not recognize the strange lady in their house, as I did not have a camera stuck to my face. They also experienced the bliss of not having the paparazzi following them around, documenting their every move. But, when strange habitual behaviors become the norm in situations, their absence gets noticed. All week I heard, “Mom, why didn’t you take a picture of that?” “Mom, you should get you camera,” “Mom, take a picture of me doing this.” So I got to experience the bliss of viewing life through my own eyes, not a lens. That being said, I’m glad I have my camera back. And I finally got to go through the pictures from our trip to my hometown, which I will post soon, but until then, I’ll give you a sneak peek:

And another:

Tuesday...the new Sunday

Did I say I was going to post some more pictures on Sunday? Uh....by Sunday, I actually meant Tuesday. Due to some unforeseen events (Internet problems, my daughter's short-lived virus which reared its ugly head after viewing the first 10 minutes of WALL-E at the theater), time jumped and it's now 2 days after I promised to post some of my favorite color pictures. (Don't worry, the theater kindly gave us a rain check, and we went back to view the rest of WALL-E last night. I highly recommend it!) Oh, and I was safely reunited with my camera which happened to have a few more pictures on it than when I left it a week ago. I'll post about that in the days to come.

As promised, some of my favorite color shots:

I think I got a litttle carried away. Remind me to never try to narrow down 5 years worth of pictures into a few favorites again. I think it might be Wednesday already with the amount of time I've been sitting here.

Camera Blues

I'm really missing my camera right now. I left it at my aunt's house last weekend and I've been without my photo taking friend all week. I will be reunited with my camera tomorrow, but in the meantime, I just had to post some pictures. So, here are a few favorites from the days before blogging:
I don't know what I was thinking posting some of my favorites. I've been sitting here for an hour trying to pick a few from what I'm sure has got to be close to a billion pictures. I've limited this group to black and white pictures, and I'm going to have to post some more tomorrow because there are just too many to choose from.

Until tomorrow,

Nessa Dee
