Girl or Machine

I'm a little nervous here. I am taking a photo technique class and I am under the assumption that my instructor has hypnotized me into some horrible photo machine. I've become mechanical in a sense. Trudging along the fine line that is my life, camera in tow almost everywhere I go. (when it's not with me I inevitablely wish it was) Perfectly normal things are catching my attention. I turn to observe and feel my eyes rotate in and out like the auto focus on my camera. And, I also think it is how a fly's eye works. I don't know why I think that but I sure hope he hasn't hypnotized me into an insect. That would be very bad. A fly releases some kind of unmentionable bodily fluid every time it lands. So far THAT hasn't happened. (thankfully!) Back to the photo making machine I have become. I now scan every surface. Wow that has great texture. Look at that asymmetical set up. How much more geometric can you get. There's an implied line if there ever was one. I hope Mr. Zizzi snaps his finger when the class is over so I can be my nearly normal self again. Hopefully a better photographer too!

First Blog Jitters

I have put so much thought into what my very first blog would be about. So many wonderful thoughts have raced through my head. All of them would have indeed been ideal places to start. What's the trouble you ask? Why have the VERY first and ONLY first blog be about absolutely nothing? Just some jibberish ranting on about NOTHING! Well, let me tell you. I come up with the most brilliant ideas you would all enjoy and talk about for years to come only at the most inconvenient times possible. Such as while sauntering down the grocery store ailes or at lunch. Always while miles away from the nearest computer. By the time I get to typing it out the whit is gone. Better to carry on about nothing to satisfy the millions out there who have been anxiously awaiting this VERY FIRST BLOG. I promise, I will get my thoughts in order and post something worthy of reading very soon!
