I have owned two Nikon Coolpix 4600 within the last year and a handful of months. One died due to the previous’ owner neglect that lead to corrosion on a few keep function keys. The other is still alive but only shoots in auto mode and the zoom does not work. I gave it to my sister-in-law and she utilizes it as an everyday type point and shot.
Below are several shots from my first-now-dead Coolpix 4600. Enjoy!
I wanted to title this hodgepodge of shots Sir Mix A Lot butt …never mind. Here are several from a day to days past. Enjoy!
For the foreseeable future I am going to be unable to consistently post or shot new material. I was lining some things up to post when I can I found this old 35mm film shot. So here is one for the day.
I spent most of today in pain and moderate discomfort from an issue with my eye. I tried to flush it myself but ended up going to an eye doctor. Turns out it was a sliver of wood stuck in my eye. Nice. I left the eye doctors and was going to take a walkabout but the eye, though no longer hurting, was still weeping a lot. I think I am an above average in being aware to how good most of us have it but I never realized how much impact not having vision in one of our eyes can impact ones life.
Since I was not comfortable going for a walkabout I went through some pictures I took Friday. The morning was humbly cool and I had a small window of time during a break in the rain. Here a few from that set. It is good to see them, though they are not my best, and to know how precious that is.
Because of the much-needed rain showing up this weekend I have not taken but a few shots since last week late. So here are three of one of my favorite subjects while I am on rain delay! The top and bottom I took with my Minolta 35mm film camera in the morning one weekend.The middle with my beloved, and no longer working, Canon PowerShot S3is at dusk.
The pictures I use, and the words as well, are mine but they really have no worth unless I share them with others.
Life, as usually, has been unapologetic in its pursuit of keeping me busy. So the Bride and I have the next four days off from work and other preordained obligations.
Here are a few pictures from around our place I took this morning. I have not been able to do that for more weeks than I like to admit. It feels nice taking some time to breath in the moment.
As I sit here looking around the faceless landscape of my moms ER room, with the ever-present hums of medical equipment and the cooling system, I reflect on many things. One is how is the canvas of my life going to look when she is gone. Bigger yet how is it going to look while she is still here. Cancer is an ugly beast and the death it brings is usually more so. This is, I am relatively sure, going to be one of a series of visits till what will be will be. We need some pretty about right now.
I showed mom some photos I have taken and stored on my old lap top to kill a little time. The Mac is old but I am grateful to have it as a diversionary tool from the reality we are walking through right now. The following picture is one she liked because it was pretty. We are needing us some pretty right now.
