I just can't keep up

I am a really bad blogger here aren't I?  I've just gone and apologized on 3 of my other blogs about how horrible a blogger I am.  I've obviously taken on too much and I just can't keep up.  What was I thinking anyway?  I am a total scatterbrain most days - it's not like I was blessed with organizational skills!  I swear, most people's brains have sections and categories - some things go over there, other things go over here.  Well not me.  My brain is a funnel into a pit of confusion!  It all goes in the same place and there is no one inside my brain directing traffic.  It's amazing that I even remember to put pants on most days!

I guess some good news is that I am still working really hard on my photography.  I have been "assigned"  as the school photographer.  Nothing official, I just get asked to take pictures of the kids, all the time, at a lot of the functions.  Don't tell anyone at the school I said this, but the kids yearbooks this year were total crap because of the horrible photography!  All the candid pictures are blurry!  The only good ones are the actual school pics of the kids and anything of mine that was put in.  I am totally not being egotistical when I say that.  Ask anyone that saw the yearbook!  I am telling you, taking pictures is one thing, being a photographer - amateur, professional, some one who just has a real interest in it - is a total different things.  Pictures are pictures, but photographs are so much more.

That is why I can take pictures of doors and burnt stuff and it looks amazing, and my Mother in Law takes a picture of a wall and you have no idea what it is!  Or why the heck she took the picture in the first place!  Speaking of doors, I took about 3000 photo's on our Europe trip this year.  I am trying to whittle it down so I can view it on a disc, but I have only gotten it to 1400.  And the disc's that hold that much info are super expensive!  And no one really wants to see 16 shots of the same thing anyway.  Most of those shots are for me, working with the light and angles.  I just show the best ones.

So that's it for now.  I am still working hard on the photography, just not so much the blogging of it.  I did (FINALLY) get my commission check for my work with the electrical company.  I haven't spent a dime of it, I just wanted to have it to show how hard I worked.  It shows that I worked REALLY hard! I hope they have more work for me soon!
