Slacking off a bit around here, I will admit. Consider it an unintentional summer vacation. But I have been keeping myself occupied.
-lots and lots of reading: currently in the midst of 2 books, with another to be added this weekend. Maybe you’ve heard of it. Harry something or other. I don’t know, the kids seem to enjoy it.
-shot a wedding in Paducah last weekend, which was lots of fun. Set a new personal best, I think, and shot 730 pictures. I’ve since edited it down a bit, but that still seems pretty good. What’s interesting is that I used the exact same gear as when I shot Kevin’s wedding back in November. I didn’t have to dump my memory cards at all, which is good. But using the exact same gear this time, I made six memory card dumps to my laptop. I guess knowing I could do that allowed me to shoot freely without worrying about running out of space. And the family was larger as well.
Had dinner with mum and Mike last night, which is always nice. Mom was even nice enough to bring me a really snazzy mortar/pestle combo, so now I can grind my spices all old-timey like. I also present this amusing anecdote: I had to go, so, you know, I went to the bathroom. And at one point, the door swings open a bit, but no one comes in. Weird. And while I’m washing my hands, the door pops open again, and a little guy, maybe 4 or so comes in, and is staring at me like I’m the creepiest thing he’s ever seen. He then proceeds to move, back to the wall, towards the toilet, never taking his eyes off me, and waiting until I was safely out of the room before, I assume, going about his business. Pretty funny. I hope I didn’t scar him too bad.
I have that affect on people.
