2008 almost over

September 4th, 2008 | by admin |

Yea I know we still have 3 months left to go but I’m still happy to see that 2008 is about over. It hasn’t been kind to my family nor myself health wise. But on the good side of things, my family and I have the following to be happy about,

  1. I’m happy because I’m going to be going CRAZY taking pictures like never before. I’ve ordered more CF cards for my EOS D40 then a human should be allowed to have but for the deal, I couldn’t pass it up.
  2. With my health issues, it’s allowed me to spend more time with my wife and kids instead of doing all the other extra things I was doing when I was not at work. So this will bring us closer, at least that’s the plan.
  3. My wife’s going to join the choir at church because she loves to sing. That will be a good thing for her to release some stress.

So with the above, that should be enough to keep us going for awhile. I plan on spending a LOT of times in the woods this fall and winter taking pictures instead of shooting deer. This should continue the bond that my daughter and I formed when she went hunting with me, only this time we’ll be shooting deer with a camera instead of a arrow or bullet.

Our son is really getting into skateboarding more then anything else I’ve seen him get into before, after 3 days at school in 7th grade, he’s happy because his popularity has gone up alot since he really starting taking skateboarding seriously. I’ll be taking a few pictures of him and posting them once I get the right setting to really bring out the life and glow around him when he’s doing his tricks.

I’m still not sure where I’m going with my career so I continue to take each day as it comes. As long as our bills are paid and we have a roof over our head and food on our plates, then I consider that a good thing. As my kids get older, I realize that it’s time for them to shine and for me to step away from the things that I’ve done for so many years. It’s easier with my back being a total wreck now because it wasn’t so easy for me to walk away before. But now that I’m getting more obsessed with photography and it’s something that I can involve my family in, it’s just easier.

So now that I have a gallery setup on here for the pictures of my kids and their friends, I’ll start shooting away and you can be damn sure that I’ll have plenty of pictures up. Not all of them will be great or even good since I don’t plan on doing any post processing, (IE: Cleaning up the images) but at least it’ll give me something to look at and get C&C from the professionals with.
