Days Best Spent



I'm just pulling things from the vault.  Maybe I've gotten too old for street photography.  I can't bring myself to (a go out with a camera and "waste" my time exploring events or strange places and/or (b approach people with a camera.  I want to, I really do.  But it takes a lot of physical and psychic energy and I barely have enough to make it through a regular day.  I can't tell if my fatigue is psychological or physical, but they are not mutually exclusive and so it is probably both.  I think it is more about time which I seem to have so very little of for myself any more.  I need desperately to go shopping for things (furniture, clothing) and to do some long overdue yard work, and maybe it is just that.  Perhaps I have simply let things pile up so much where the things I need to do are weighing me down so that I can't allow myself to do the things I want.

I learned that in Trite Analysis 101, 3 credits.  I took it online.

I just took the better part of an hour recalling a shoot I had once with a very long African-esque mother of a four year old who only dated white boys.  The tale was long and sordid, and in the end, I couldn't post it.  It was like the photos that I do not post.  Some things are better done in person.  And I can't trust myself this morning.  I had a late dinner and some drinks and then took a Xanax and went to bed.  I am still putty in body, mind, and spirit, and I am sure my judgement is poor.  I don't even trust the picture I have put with this writing.  I am going to change it.  And again.  No, I cannot trust myself at all.  History teaches us that some days are best spent lying in bed.
