Some asshole put this screw in a tree – I don’t care if they were stringing up lights or tacking some stupid “swap box” to it – no excuse that’s what DEAD trees are for (two-by-four’s).
Maybe they were trying to tap it for syrup… people do that sort of thing around here in Ottawa…
Sittin’ around growing moss – that’s about all I’m up to right now. In more exciting news? Demolition!
I really wanted to take a picture I was happy with. I went to great lengths. Tried listing everything I’d need, lighting setup etc. And when it came down to it? Fail. Epic Fail.
I think the best of my photos come when I’m inspired and, for whatever reason, I can’t really inspire myself. I sometimes lack that “finished product” type of creativity that really lets me see something through creatively. A few times I nail it – but really that’s as much a matter of luck as anything else (prospective clients please ignore this paragraph).
And really what it came down to the right elements weren’t there for what I had planned, but I hadn’t planned on how to compromise in this personal situation (unlike so many times when I’m shooting for clients or just having fun). So I planned it out, forced a shoot, and all I got was a few cute, but uninspired shots of the kids. I’ll do better next time. Not for you tough – this I need to accomplish myself.
The park’s still technically closed, but that doesn’t stop people from playing around in the reservoir left behind by the snow runoff – which is kinda nasty – but hey, who am I to ruin a good time?
