Back to basics

Back in the day (like 15 years ago maybe) my step-father gave me a 1979 Minolta 35 MM camera. I thought it was the coolest thing ever, and took lots of pictures with it. After neglecting my little hobby I decided to pick it up again. This old camera, even older now, has been patiently waiting for me to give it some attention for some time now. When I picked it up out of the rusted metal lunchbox it has been resting in, I noticed it still had a roll of film inside. I thought, "What in the world could be on this film??"
My Mother - with what she called a "Dorothy Hammel (sp?) Haircut"
My good friend Sarah - looking stylish in her fab "1990-ish" attire
And my beautiful grandmother - who hasn't changed a bit!











Sometimes the photos turn out grainy, and it's hard to capture the light. It's fun to play around with, though. It is possible to get a good picture with this camera. I have been playing with it this week and caught one of Lucy girl lounging.

She is pretty in the pink light, don't you think?

Until next time.. : )

Where does the time go??

Wow...I can't believe it's been 1 1/2 years since I logged in and posted anything here! I started thinking I might be ready to commit myself to this once again. Actually, I never committed to it in the first place, but it was a nice thought at the time! So, once again I will attempt another effort at blogging. I'm not sure where this will take me, but I've been bored lately and I need something constructive to keep meout of trouble.

I really love to write, actually. I have kept journals for years from everything to confessions and teenage woes, to life goals and "To Do" lists in my early twenties, to what I thought was "love" poems and my then latest level of mature outlooks on life. The difference between those writings and having a blog is HUGE! The biggest difference is that someone might actually read what I am writing on here! That is, if I actually have anyone ever follow me. Right now I have one follower, and that is my cousin. I'm not sure what happened to my mom. What does that say about my blog if my own mother doesn't even follow me?

So, as I start this new journey if anyone does end up following me I want to apologize for the gramatical errors that will surely add up as I try to re-polish my writing skills. It's actually a struggle to find the words to express myself without using "smileys" and "LOL" or "OMG" after every other sentence! I guess old habits die hard! So bear with me, please.
