Still getting the hang of using them - I didn't realize just how much light they would require. It's hard, especially inside or in low light, to even see through the viewfinder. So getting images in focus is a challenge. Lots to learn.

It's been a long time, I know...I've been wanting to post but the past couple weeks have been filled with lots of driving and visiting friends and family and there just hasn't been much time. I'm not really sure where to start right now, I'm feeling a bit restless and don't really want to be sitting at the computer but wanted to share a few images taken with my newest photo gadget, Holga lenses made to fit an SLR.

Titles are always one of the hardest parts for me - for blog posts, for pieces of art, for my Etsy shop (I really want to change that one, but to what?) ...I'm not really sure why, maybe the official-ness of it? The labeling/defining/categorizing?
Anyway, I've been thinking about getting back to the blog for a while now and reading this series by Havi over at Fluent Self which has finally given me the motivation to just sit down and give it a try. Havi is pretty fantastic in a lot of ways, I'm sure you'll be hearing more about her around here.
There are a lot of things I want to cover, but I don't think I can really squeeze them all into one post so for now I'll just talk about what's most immediate in my mind. I've been trying to take a walk around the neighborhood everyday, to get outside and get moving, to soak up whatever sunshine I can, to get a change of scenery when I start to feel anxious and unfocused. It doesn't actually happen every day, sometimes I'm too tired, or it's raining, or there's just not enough time, but I go as often as I can. For a while I was trying to get back into drawing but I've slipped into my old ways and started to bring a camera along (usually a Canon G10, lighter and more convenient than the 40D). Here are a few images from today:

| Our neighbor's boat, in his backyard...Both of our yards get pretty soggy when it rains, how much to you think it will sink by springtime? |

| Most of the leaves are off the trees but there are still little bits of color if you look for them. |
