Are You The Cameraman?: Decayed Pumpkin

About this blog title

I cannot tell you how many times I have shown up at events with a couple of cameras around my neck, a gadget bag full of odds & ends and a lighting kit and have been asked that question. If it happened once every few years, that would be one thing. But it happens a LOT. It's like getting pulled over by the police and he's standing there with uniform, gun, flashing lights and asking him "Are you a cop?" I would love to come back with a witty reply, such as "No, I am Jesus. Don't you recognize my beard?" However, I cannot be that rude.

Decayed Pumpkin

I saw a Robin yesterday. That's a sure sign of Spring here in northern NY. I grabbed a camera and ran outdoors to photograph it. I push the shutter release and nothing happens. ??? I got an error message. (This is a Nikon D7000). So I fiddle around trying to figure out the problem and in the mean time the bird flies away. Well, I remove the SD card and reinsert it and it began to work. Then I spotted this pumpkin, way beyond it's prime. It had been buried beneath the snow for months and reappeared just in the last day or so. It looked interesting so I snapped a photo of it. That's why it is here today.

Other than that things have been hectic between trying to get my vacant5 apartment ready, Mom's health issues, my job, the guitar lessons, my deteriorating sleep and guitar practice schedule. I feel like everything is in a state of chaos. Once the apartment is done & rented I'm sure I'll get back on schedule. At least I hope so.
