Just BLOG, Why Dontcha' ?
I think that the moment someone informed me that blogging is VITALLY IMPORTANT to my continued career as a photographer and that I will limp bedraggled into the land of photographic obscurity without one it became this fearsome creature - something to be tamed and managed rather than enjoyed. All of a sudden EVERY WORD and EVERY IMAGE became SO IMPORTANT, and here I am today - frozen into inactivity at the mere mention of the phrase "why don't you blog?" ARRRGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! I just.... I just... CAN'T!!!!!!
So today. I'm trying something new. Today I say F**K IT, and just post up a series of random images I shot awhile back on a very cold day somewhere in San Mateo. Just for the pure hell of it. Just because I ran across them while I was feverishly searching my BIG-ASS hard drive for something much more important and said "huh, I kinda like these, maybe I'll post them"...
EUREKA!!!! We have a breakthrough Ladies and Gentlemen! And now, without further ado, here's some stuff to look at:
Yes, power lines - one of the things that seems to separate photographers from the rest of humanity is our endless obsession with documenting the mundane!
Here's one of my 80 million sunset images. Ever since I've moved out here to Cali I can't seem to stop documenting sunsets all of these lush, rich sunsets!
Okay, that's it - I didn't want to put too much pressure on myself w/ this whole new blogging thing - LOL!
That wasn't too bad - much better than cleaning out the litterbox!

Well done, Lisa! And well said about putting so much pressure on yourself with EVERY POST!

I think I'd die if I didn't blog anymore, a big black hole would suck me up and draw me into the great abyss. LOL. I love that last image, the framing is sensational!

I could never understand why my friends thought I was a freak for taking oodles of pictures of dead trees on backpacking trips. I feel much better now that I know that photographers love to take pictures of power lines and such! Thanks for the super fun blog!
