If that's all you will be, you'll be a waste of time 
You've dreamed a thousand dreams, none seem to stick in your mind 
Two points for honesty 
It must make you sad to know that nobody cares at all 


Guster: Two Points for Honesty


Okay, so I suppose the lyrics are a bit melodramatic, but I realized last night how long it's been since I even picked up my camera. I'm hoping to renew my sense of purpose about photos and get off my butt. Lately I've made it a point to leave my Alpha at home so I focus on being in the moment and not lugging the weight around with me. Now though it's time to get back to it. In order to relearn I'm going manual on my settings. No more taking auto-focus, No more auto setting. If I could figure out how to turn off my LCD screen I would do that too. The goal is to go back to that sense of feeling like I'm using my Olympus OM-1. Hmmm... maybe I should see if i have any film lying around while I'm at it.


Anyway, these are some pictures from our friend Katie's dressage competition. She got a big ribbon for her beautiful Friesian horse, Joe. He's such an impressive animal and whenever I am around him I am just in awe of his size.
