I bought a new camera last week! I brought it to Arizona with me this past weekend and took some pretty good pictures. I’ve only learned the bare minimum about how it works, though – just enough to get by for the trip. I need to spend more time figuring out how everything works. My goal – to learn one new thing about this camera each day. My first step is printing off the instructions manuals so I can download the pictures onto my computer. Plan to do this tomorrow at work . . .

I spend entirely too much time living in my head . . . never really seeing the world around me. I’ve decided that focusing on my creative goals might be a way of reconnecting with the world around me. I want to take a drawing class in the fall, as part of my goal to obtain an Associates Degree in Fine Arts, and also become more involved in photography. I joined a camera club at work, which is helping, and I’ve been going to a lot of museums. Hopefully all of these things will help! We shall see . . .
I’d listed this as one of my goals earlier this week, but then deleted it, because I thought it was kind of silly, actually. But, lo and behold, today I received an email from one of my favorite independent bookstores listing their upcoming book signings, and guess who’s going to be signing books there in May – Bobby Flay! So I guess I might be able to really do this after all!
