You don’t understand, no-one does. When a woman makes the choice to marry, to have children; in one way her life begins but in another way it stops. You build a life of details. You become a mother, a wife and you stop and stay steady so that your children can move. And when they leave they take your life of details with them. And then you’re expected move again only you don’t remember what moves you because no-one has asked in so long. Not even yourself. You never in your life think that love like this can happen to you. -Francesca, Bridges of Madison County

Kara’s New Toy…

29 April, 2010 /

We have been wanting a fisheye lens for a lonnnnnng time but we could never afford it, still can’t…so we bought the less expensive one. It’s not as fun as the one I use to play with at the camera store, but it’s fun trying to get the shot we want.

We have this lens that we got off Ebay a million years ago that never worked on my D70, but it works on Kara’s D50. We put the lens on that one and use it as our dedicated fish eye camera! I took it out to the dropzone and got some of the accuracy landings. I have a lot of ideas for shots, but not enough time anymore to do the fun stuff I like.

I know…make time. I am…I have all kinds of beautiful, wonderful plans for the summer. Bring it on!
