Taking A Break.
Aug 15, 2011 Uncategorized
Just when I got some inspiration to finally start scrapping a whole album, I was hit by a bug. Now, my nose is all stuffed, dog urine odor removal is not needed to get those bad odors away, since I can hardly smell a thing. And that is in addition to the little joint pains and fever. And so I’m off to get some much needed rest. I am afraid though that I will lose my inspiration and motivation to scrap. But what can I do.
So True.

The best equipment doesn’t make someone the best photographer. Neither a good car {with all Polaris Ranger Accessories on it}, will make you a good driver. I know this for a fact as I know people who don’t have the most expensive and latest cameras and gear and yet they produce the most beautiful images. Sure fantastic gadgets do give fantastic results, but that will all depend on the one using it. Notice this though. Those who give such comments aren’t really knowledgeable in the field. Know what I mean? If you visit galleries of photographers, you will hardly read comments on gear, rather fellow photographers comment on the composition, lighting, etc. There’s this professional photographer who shoots with his digcam and still able to come up with stunning images. I just can’t recall the name though.

What’s Wrong With The Weather?
Aug 17, 2010 Uncategorized
The weather is so bad, don’t you think. It is so extreme. It would be so hot in the morning then it would cold and wet in the afternoon. Thanks to that, I am having asthma again. My inhaler would usually last months, now I think I am going to need another one. And it doesn’t come cheap. I think I need to allot some budget just for my maintenance alone. Do I need to get spirometers as well just monitor my asthma? I certainly hope not.
A Journal.
Aug 11, 2010 Uncategorized
That’s something I am planning to do. And because of that, I am not addicted to pens. It started with a few colors to use on the journal until I became addicted to them. Oh yes, they are my addiction as of the moment. And I do have tons of pens already in every color there is. And yes, you guessed it right. I haven’t started on my journal yet.
