The Last Big Push!

I'm actually glad I took a little bit of time to shoot some pretty pictures yesterday. It was a lot of running round, Costco, firewood, groceries etc. Loading/unloading. E was with me, so I had great company. I must say, taking just a little glance back a few years, I'm certainly in a better spot. I have gained perspective on things.

It's much nicer to be with someone who is happy and wants to be engaged in life. I didn't realize how much that was weighing me and my family down. It took some unfortunate choices that actually ended up being a better scenario for me. You don't see these things when you are in a situation. Enough of that. Today, you get eye candy. These are HDR photos (high dynamic range) They each are essentially three photos in one. I shot these at a nursery in Beltsville that has been operating by the same family since the 1940s. (perhaps another film project??)

Anyhow, I've been writing this blog now for a decade. A lot sure has happened over that time. Much of it was exciting, scary, sad but all-in-all it's been a good thing. And here I am. So what lies ahead is hopeful and also uncertain. I wish everyone a happy holiday season. Please enjoy these pictures.
