Normal Is Weird

Hi friends, it’s been grey and cold (temperatures averaging -7°C | 19.4°F) here in Ontario, which makes me want to hibernate. :) I’ve been listening to a lot of great music, practicing daily yoga, and playing with the iPhone that I got for Christmas. Funny fact, this is the first cell phone that I’ve ever had. Ever. I’m having a lot of fun taking photos and making short videos. And fun is good. :)

 

Flickr always seems too serious to me for smartphone photos, but I would like to see that change. I know that several of you post iPhone images, so I might get brave enough eventually and join you. Yesterday was the first day this year that I took a photo with my DSLR, compared to loads of photos/videos that I’ve taken with my iPhone... I love photos that are taken more spontaneously. I find that DSLR photography has become almost too sterilized. Too perfect. If you know what I mean. I will try to expand on my thoughts about this at some point in a later post.

 

The photo above is from last year. I took it with my Nikon the same day that I took the photo of the sign at the tattoo shop. Thank you for all your warm and wonderful comments on that image (and all my images!). For the record, I don’t actually have any tattoos, and I don’t intend to ever get any. Still, I find tattoos cool and interesting, and that sign was amusing to me.

 

Sending out love and good wishes to all of you! I’ve missed you, and I’m grateful for your friendship/presence here! I hope that 2022 will be a magical and inspiring year for all of us. x
