Mini-Vacation

Yes! I am off work for 5 days! Wahoo! I want to go up north (to Northern MI – Manistee area is nice) but I should stay home and clean the house. I have a ton of stuff I need to do and I can enjoy my pool and spend some time with my nephews. Maybe I’ll blog a lot. My writing can always use practice and there has been a bunch of stuff I have been wanting to write about but I haven’t had the time or the energy to do justice to the subject matter.
 
It is just nice to get away from work for a while, hehe. I don’t bring work home with me but it does suck when I am there, hahaha. Naw, it is not too bad. The money isn’t bad either. Better than I thought it would be. The worst part about it is the work wears me out. I have been so tired – and my feet really kill me. 
 
I should start my job search in earnest – I haven’t really yet. I have a few other job prospects that I am a little excited about (the money – a lot more $$) but really I just want to get past the summer and get back in school. I can’t wait to start school again. The only bad thing is – if I get one of the jobs I put in for I won’t be able to go back to school full time next fall. That is going to make me sad. I am torn. It would be nice to work full time for a year, save a bunch of money so I don’t have to finance so much of my education, but I really don’t want to put off going to school for any length of time. Argh! Decisions, decsions. Well, maybe my decision will be made for me, maybe I won’t be offered the jobs.

Good Quote

"There are always two people in every picture: the photographer and the viewer." Ansel Adams

I love taking what I call scenery pictures. I take a lot of pics of trees, flowers, water, etc. I don’t photograph people too often. I really like the above quote by Ansel Adams. It sums up the majority of my photography. Nature – the colors, the shadows and light, intrigues me. I really identify with what he is saying. To me he is basically saying you don’t need people in a picture for it to convey meaning and emotion. The picture is interesting because of the beauty of the scene (or lack of beauty) but also because of the way the photographer chose to photograph it and because of what people feel when they view the picture – what meaning they ascribe it.
