Trenity told me this cat's name is Felix. she/he? lives next door but seems to prefer my backyard.. anyway, over the past several days I've been discussing photography and how frustrated I am because I want to create images that are more than snapshots. I want to discover something that I know is buried inside me but I can't figure out what it is, let alone find it. After trying some objects that I also just posted I once again found myself happy to photograph the cats. I love nature. I love animals and kids. I get bored with flowers no matter how "impressive" the shot is.

I am caught between what I want to do and my logical mind telling me I need to learn to do what I *can* do.. ie still life or staged shots I can do from home. Yep seems logical, I tell myself to learn to make impressive b/w or still life from real surroundings. Maybe try some macro abstracts that I could do. Could.. but do I *want* to? I'm slowly seeing that what I want to do is not be worried about what to shoot, not be forced to do something just because I can.

I want to photograph what I enjoy. I think today is the first of a new 'era' for me. I hope you come along and enjoy the ride. It might be snapshots, it might bore you to death.... but I'm going to just have fun and do what I like, as best I can with what's in front of me and what limits I have. Thanks for being here.
