nighttime

Late last evening, I realized that I hadn't taken my photo for the day yet. I had gotten sucked into listing things on Freecycle, and doing some odd stuff around the house... and I got side-tracked. Such is life sometimes.
And so... around 11:30pm... the daughter and I headed out to see what we could see... and to catch a photo. We ended up having a great time... and actually got photos for (technically) last night and today.
I have been working this week on my night-time photography skills (or lack thereof )..... so it was a good lesson for me. I am also coming up on my one-year anniversary of having just the Kodak point and shoot camera... and this whole year has been quite amazing in terms of my growth as a photographer... it is really quite exciting.

Yesterday I had a great time visiting with a friend... and got to look at some artwork she is working on. Fabulous! Stuff like this makes me more motivated to get my studio space organized so that I can get back to working again.

I've also been reading more as of late... probably because I haven't been sleeping well at night again... and reading is something I can do in the quiet of the night without disturbing anyone else in the house.

Last night, I took Sabrina on her nightly walk around the neighborhood... and took some photos. It is an interesting thing to try to take photos with a simple point and shoot at night... but I am learning some techniques to use with it to make the photos come out a little better.
