New Chapter

Feet

Okay, so a LOT has happened since I last posted. I did go back to NY for 2 weeks, from where I originally hail, and found MANY reminders why I live around San Diego. My brother and his family were gracious hosts and I just thuroughly enjoyed my time with them. I was so blessed to be a part of the graduation celebrations for my niece and nephew. We all had a great time at the Great Escape, where we learned just how nice everyone is. God sure had me there for that time and for reasons that became quite clear when Dad and Grandma ended up in different hospitals at the same time. God is so good, and I am so glad to be back home.

At last posting, I wanted to continue my education in photography but with classes that fit around my busy life schedule. Uh, yeah...about that. I quit my job. I no longer work in the social services field. I no longer get calls at 5 AM about people who are not able to make it to work. *Huge Grin* I am now employed as a photographer. Yep, sure am! I am going to be working with a company that does the annual images for school children. I start training next Monday and for one week, I will be learning everything from the ground up. Later, as we become more accompanied to the equipment, we will also have the opportunity to work with other more portable cameras to capture sporting events and other school socials on the weekend. That is really what interests me. The camera rumored to be used is the D200 by Nikon. Oh yeah, I can't wait!

My niece, Lindsay is here living with my sister and I now. You will find that she is one of my favorite subjects to photograph. She is used to the camera, and does not feel the need to pose everytime I break it out, which is nice. I am able to get more natural expressions from her. I have been posting like crazy on Flickr since my trip to NY. Feel free to click on my badge to get to the photo site. This photo is one example of Lindsay's fine modeling skills. This image made the Flickr top 500 photos for July 1. This one's for you, Chris. Happy Birthday.

So, that is about it. Enough changes for now, I guess, but I am not daunted by it. I embrace it and look for more wonderful things to come!!
