My Camera, My Mind, My Words: January 2010

Wow, haven't posted anything in months. To be honest, I really thought I lost my passion for a while. My last shoot was July...I think? Since then, the camera has only collected dust. The D90 did come with me to NYC when I took Alyssa up for a visit. Only thing that came from that was figuring out my camera is broken. Great news I know. Put it back on the shelf to collect dust and haven't touched it since. Actually, its sitting in a box ready to be shipped out to Nikon, but just need to get around to shipping it.

December came and went. Figured since I was driving to Florida to see the family and girl for Christmas I'd want to bring my camera. Maybe, just maybe it was a fluke. Maybe it was just me. I forgot how to use my camera. Blew the dust off, put a battery in the grip, and threw a lens on. Took some shots and guess what? Same focusing issues. What the ****? There is no way I'm going to Florida without a camera. What do I do? Ship it out and MAYBE have it back in time for my trip? This drove me crazy, kept me up all night for days. Well I must still have that passion if I'm losing sleep over a broken camera. What do I do?

I go out and buy a new one. Brand new D90, I love you. Maybe a new lens and flash also? Sure. I was ready for my trip. Finally getting sleep again, I was ready to start shooting again.

Well anyway, I'm still in a creative block kinda. I have plenty of people who want to shoot, I just don't feel like I am ready. I know, shits weak. But here are some shots from my trip back to Florida. Didn't get to shoot as much as I hoped, but I did get to see most of my friends. That was priority number 1. Still going through and editing stuff some expect more soon.
