Weekly Winners {The Visit Edition}
My cousin sister Pauline is here, from NY, for the weekend. She is accompanied by her boyfriend, John. They came in on Friday and they’re leaving tomorrow.
The weekend has flown by. Why can’t anyone invent a machine that stretches time. That would be really RAD!

I Can’t Not Photograph
It’s no secret that photography has become an integral part of my existence. It has allowed me to see and connect to the world in a whole new and extraordinary way. It has allowed me to rejuvenate the creative fiber that has always been part of my make-up. For it, I am grateful.
Recently, I had a conversation with a local photographer girlfriend. We were both talking about how it’s so easy for us to get into the rut of feeling like we are inadequate in our profession. Fact is, the photography field is saturated. Maybe over-saturated. A good camera is accessible to most people these days. It’s entirely easy to get down when everywhere you turn there is competition breathing down your neck.
But…
Recently I had an epiphany. Yes, this profession is brimming with talented individuals. Yes, it’s easy to get down about competitors. Yes, it’s hard to find your footing. But, I photograph because I can’t not. I don’t photograph to compete with you. I photograph because it’s a part of who I am. It’s a passion, and I do it because when I do it I feel complete. I’m a photographer because I don’t know how not to be.
So…
I’m in this for the long haul. I’m going to keep whipping out my camera and putting it your face. I’m going to help you by teaching you things that I’ve already learned. I’m going to do all I can to put myself out there for the world to see. So, be aware, just after you see me, I’m going to take your picture.
NAILED
Sixteen years ago
We met on the web
You, a long haired hippie
I, a blossom-late kind of kid
Who knew that all these years later
We’d still be in a web
You, the short haired pilot
I, the blogging-photographer whiz
Years pass so quickly
This we fully know
And while we tangle, untangle, and re-tangle
You and I will always be “nailed”
Happy NAILS Anniversary, DocDeath
Love,
Mishi
