Three minutes till midnight here and by the time I finish this post, it will be tomorrow. I have prints washing so I'm up for another 40 minutes...might as well say something to the world. hey, how ya doin?
Summer has kicked into high gear and it makes me smile. I checked my first born son into his first sleep over camp yesterday. He's 13 and loves basketball. To make a long story short...its a bad ass camp, run by the UNC Tarheel coach, Roy Williams. I've talked to Aaron a few times, briefly...and all I can say is...I don't think he misses us. I asked him what his favorite thing has been so far, he named a couple of big name players he had met and talked about some games but decided ultimately that the thing he loved most so far was his freedom. HIS FREEDOM. that is an entire post in and of itself. I'm terrified.
Grayson had his first electric guitar lesson today...he was born to play rock and roll. He and I had a lunch date just before the lesson. That too deserves its own post.
Olivia went out with me last weekend and we shot for an hour in the woods. I'm extremely happy with what we got. I've been printing it today. Which brings me to the darkroom...
Been having myself quite the pity party in there for the last several weeks...missing my extra set of eyes along with the company. Today I turned the corner. I was in and out, with plenty of kid stuff to pull me out of there every couple of hours...but while I was ALL IN...there was my fair share of magic. I worked hard on each print and just finished split toning all of them. I love them. And if I could sing for you the last line, where I say "I love them", I would. I would sing it. So imagine me singing that part and you'll really know how much I love them.
Gotta Go Squeegie.
I just love your blog ... for all kinds of reason
