…good before bed.

To those who follow me here I have not been updating recently due because lately I have been having a hard time focusing.  Don’t fret, there will be more photos.

Love is a state of being in which one has arrived at the humility to act without the ego; in which one does not want anything from anyone in the world; in which one does not want to use life as a means to an end, but is satisfied in living life as an end in itself. Such a person is capable of loving. Vimala Thakar

Here is the next leg of the journey.

…and more!

the last photos too you somewhere from Oklahoma to Arizona.  I didn’t spend as much time in those states as I probably should have but this was a west coast adventure so I was on my way to the coast.

now for more photos.

These are really just to show some changes of scenery I feel like I spent two straight days driving through the desert but after looking through everything I suppose it wasn’t all desert.

Re-posting

I will be re-posting many of the photos taken during my Trip for someone who has not yet seen them.  This may take some time but there is a lot to review.

This way it will all flow together, I may even try to do this all in order.

I’m off to a shoot this morning, going to mess with some video, then take some stills if there is time.

I need a distraction…

if someone would please share some conversation and perhaps let me photograph them it would mean worlds.

I have come to the realization that most of the photographs I took during my time out west were never imported into Lightroom on my main computer.  No more is this the case, I will be uploading more photos for you all to see shortly, gotta go through ‘em all because I don’t even know what is there.

A recent turn of events has led me to rethink the way I treat those I love.  I have come to the realization that I may not appreciate what I have as much as I should and that certain people in my life may not be getting the attention they deserve.  I am not here to apologize as that would be far too self serving, just here to remind myself that I need to make some considerations and changes so that those I care about know they are more than just appreciated, that they are indeed loved.
