Latest Photography

Ashamedly, I haven't taken more than a handful of photos since December. With the back problems, due to a work injury, I just haven't felt the urge to increase my pain level. Okay, so that's not a great way of putting it. But, all photographers know that you need to be flexible, able to take up without much notice, be able to go where the average person won't tread, have the ability to get into some unusual positions to get the perfect angle for the shot, etc, etc, etc.

Since I haven't met most of those requirements, I just haven't really been in the mood for photography. Maybe I need to start taking some antidepressants so that I'll at least have a better disposition and start carrying my camera with me more often so that I can be prepared for the occasional picture that has my name on it. Well, that's the way that it's supposed to work anyway.

Spring is starting to pop out, here in the far upper NW part of the USA; and in particular, here in the NW part of the NW state of Washington. Although the cherry blossoms haven't burst forth, on the trees in front of my house, all over the Tacoma area I see the pinkish flowers covering the Puget Sound area. Although the trees that line my street are being stubborn in sharing their beauty, I'm trying to be patient because I know that they are the biggest, most beautiful and longest lasting of all the trees around. They do that just for my enjoyment, you know!

So, I'm hoping that, very shortly, my spirits will rise and I'll have a few good days in which I'll be up to sitting on the front porch or taking a walk with my 'chair' walker and get some photos taken. And, if I don't have those good days, maybe I'll at least get into a better disposition and have the camera and tripod ready to at least get a couple of pictures of some local wildlife (ok, so I'm talking about the city squirrels). And, when I find something and am able to capture a fairly good photo, I'll be sharing it with you.

Please subscribe to my blog so that you'll get notices of the updates as they are posted.

Pictures; not posts

Actually, I can't say anything about posting or pictures. For some time now, I haven't done much of either. I do have several blogs (so many that I forget where they are). But, today it seems that I've found one that's reminded me of the other. Now, just to find my camera.

I'll be going out today and taking a few pictures while I'm taking care of other business. I've been doing some reading of different forums and trying to learn new techniques to help my photography skills. But, I'm still a long way from where I want to be.

In the meantime: since posting last, I've added a lot of photos to my smugmug site. You can take a look at my photos there at www.beverly5876.smugmug.com. Near the top of the page is a section where you can check out only the photos you've missed since last checking out my site. Just put in the dates covering the time frame that you want to check. If you haven't yet seen my site, please go down to the albums and click on a picture. Please notice that there are more albums in each 'section' of albums. I'd love it if you'd leave your comment on my photos.

Have a great day and hopefully it won't be so long before I get back with you.
