Is there an easy way to learn? Reading? Sitting in front of someone lecturing? Doing something yourself?
I have this convo with the hubby last nite....HTML. Who knew? Who knew it was there? Who knew it was so complicated? It is like going to Disney World, there are many people "behind the scenes" that make everything the way we see it. HOWEVER, we don't always know about those people or their actions. HTML is little symbols and letters that makes what we see on the computer screen. I NEVER knew this! Then I think I can handle this junk! I mean, if ole girl with a GED can master it I can right? If teenagers can do it so can I! Um...I think :) Stay tuned.

Shoot Me! Shoot Me!
Being a photographer is a P.I.T.A.! I mean REALLY......
As a little person it can be challenging. Cameras are heavy. Lenses are heavy. Or, maybe you just are not tall enough to get the shot.
It is a LOT of pressure....pressure to get the right shot. Pressure to get the shots organized on your multiple computers off your multiple cameras. Pressure to get them to all your friends and family before the next holiday or event. Pressure to keep up with technology. Pressure to always have the camera with you.
Then, there are the friends that don't want you to tag them in your shots because they are not currently happy with their appearance. There is the responsibility of remembering who those friends are and at what points in their lives they don't want to be tagged.
Additionally, it is a challenge always being the bad guy. No one likes their pic taken and people get grumpy if your flash goes off more than once.
Longing is a real problem too....longing to learn the equipment, longing to be good, longing to work for National Geographic year after year.....*sniffle*. Even longing to get an accurate business card, web site, or portfolio.
OCD and photography do not get along. You want the newest pic all the time posted here, or there. It is exasperating I tell you. Especially exasperating when life moves so fast!

Gratefulness
What I am grateful for....
Puppies
Nothing makes you smile bigger or longer! My new little friend is soft as a cloud and I can bury my face in his fluff and beam with joy.
My husband
For not killing me when I brought home the above puppy. He is sweet and understanding and I sure do love him!
Cucumbers and basil
All the work of planting and watering this spring's garden and bugs eat 75% of it. My yummy basil and cucumbers keep me going sanely.
(instead of digging it all out and throwing it over the cliff to the
creek)
Family
I'm so glad to be able to go to Tampa and visit my fam this weekend.
Green Day Rock Band
I'm not a huge Rock Band fan *clearing throat and scoffing* but the new game has tickled my fancy. I just pray to not end up hating Green Day by September *puts palms together and gazes to sky*
