City Life.
Heading into the big city later today. Hoping to get some shots. I've been such a slacker!! In the meantime, here are a few more that I played with the other day.

Family Portraits.
Found a few pictures from Mardi Gras that I decided to play with today.
(Comments/critiques are fully welcome. I have a long way to go with finding my photographic "voice", so to speak, and a really long way to go technically, so any input is welcome.)

Lost.
Not really me. I'm doing pretty good at the moment. But I keep feeling that this blogs needs to be something, that I need to be putting something of myself out there, but not... ugh. I don't know.
So, hodgepodge. Scattered focus. ADD.
Yeah. I'll work on that. Right about...
Shiny! Yeah, not like anyone sees any of this but me. Lalala.
Have a lot of projects in the works. Eldest is starting at the local community college for her junior year of high school, so all of a sudden our laid back, unschooly house feels, well, schooly. I'm not sure how I feel about that. But it has me focusing on math, for the twins, the eldest, and myself.
I've been playing on khanacademy.org. It's fun. Even Bug Boy seems happy on it. We'll see how long that lasts.
I've been wanting to get back to taking pictures, but I'm not seeing things through that eye at the moment. This particularly sucks because I have these awesome film cameras just no inspiration at the moment.
We've been working on rehabbing Michael. He's getting stronger, rebuilding muscle, all is well.
Been right about a year since I quit smoking and started vapeing. I still love it. Haven't touched a tobacco cigarette since July of last year. Also lost some weight. Nothing much. Can't really see it. But hey, I quit smoking and didn't gain weight. At all. Whooohoo!
Speaking about photos (I was, wasn't I?), I've been going back through some older pictures and looking at them with new eyes. I seldom get the picture I see in my head, and I need to work on that. But compositionally (is that a word?) I like a lot of what I take. The colors and focus and such may not be where I want them to be, but I'm guessing (hoping?) that just comes with practice. So I've been playing in post-processing with some photos I originally considered marginal, or were flat out mad about taking. Play with the color, crop a little from the edges, add some effects then remove them just to see the picture from a different point of view. And I'm liking what I'm seeing, for the most part. So that's something.
Projects, projects, projects:
So, that's what's on my mind tonight. I'll leave you (me) with a couple-few redone pictures from 2013.
