049 ~ Perfect!

(a little behind...)

One of these days I'll figure out the how's and why's of photography!

Same everything but they came out different - WHY?  HOW???

I like both of them!  I just want to know how to make sure

I'm getting the look I want, when I want it!

Is that so much to ask?

There are so many things I want to know more about:

Why do some people seem to always get all the "good stuff" in life?

Why do others seem to always get all the "leftovers" in life?

Do they each do something, anything different?

Why is it that whatever it is you think you want, 

when you finally get it, you want something different?

If you're one of those people who always gets the leftovers,

is it really possible to change things in your life somehow

so you can start getting the good stuff instead?

Wouldn't this world be wonderful if everyone was content?

Wouldn't it be nice to know that whatever you desired, you'd get?

Wouldn't we all be better people without so much stress over 

getting the good stuff,

not getting the leftovers,

being able to meet our needs 

and then some

without a lot of hassles?

In a perfect world ...

there would be no want,

there would be no pain,

there would be no sorrow,

life would be all we want it to be, 

in every way possible!

Wouldn't you love a perfect world?

TOPSY ~ TURVY

WELCOME TO MY UPSIDE-DOWN LIFE!

This picture is taken with the camera upside-down while my niece is also upside-down over the side of her couch reaching for something on the floor.

:)

We took several shots that day, but this one stands out to me.

It seems to show a lot of effort going into the reach.

That's how I feel in my life right now; that there's a lot of effort going into it. While there may be lots of effort, there doesn't seem to be much to show for it yet.  I expect that will change and eventually there will be something to see for all the hard work.

Which brings me to the reason for the delay in posting this.

For 36 posts I've put out pics of various things that have in some way related to our life - the life of all those who are regulars in my life.  But I got to thinking about the whole 365 thing - maybe too much, but here goes. lol

Many people I know doing a 365 type blog are in it for the pictures.  Quite a few of them are photographers, as in building a business taking pictures of people they are not related to. :)  Some are doing one just because they love to take pictures. :)  Either way is fine, makes no real difference to me, but neither is a real part of my reason for doing this.  Sure, the picture part of this is fun and it will be cool to see what a year's worth of pictures say about my life, or this life of my family & friends.  But what I expect or expected to do with this venue is more journal-like than that.  Don't get me wrong, I do love to take pictures.  But I love writing more.  I'm a writer and always have been. What would a year's worth of pictures be to me without written words of commentary?  What benefit would they have without some analyzing of life and how we reach our goals in life?  And why not throw in some history behind the picture or the people & places in the picture?  It might not be a thousand words each day, but it will certainly be a lot more than it has been!

As I contemplated these thoughts, I held off posting anything new here.  So I will catch up now... posting for Thursday, Friday, Saturday and today all in one day... bringing us up to 40 days... but look for the format to change up some.
