tri-x negative scan of Shortcake's raisin fingers, from our most recent AZ trip. I cannot wait to see this printed up big on silver gelatin. Yummy.
I’m certain I’ve got some mild bi-polar tendencies. Yes, I said mild. What.
If this is the case, then yesterday, I was absolutely manic. I felt like I had taken some drug that enhanced every little bit of beauty, excited every inspiration-receptor in my brain. I was on “inspiration overload.” It is what the season does to me; or perhaps, the moon waxing to full. It was exhilarating, as it always is. But what threw me over the edge, as usual, was the inability to express and share it.
Please do excuse my, . . .excuses, but they included: feeding, diapering, and otherwise caring for my children; a lack of film (ordering some as soon as I click “publish”); and, most importantly, THE SILVER CORD! I will tell you all about the episode of the silver cord, as soon as it is resolved. But for now, I have to get to library story time, and try to act like a sane and capable human mother. (Which reminds me of the yellow leaf from last year.) Wish me luck.
It’s a photo like this that reminds me why I REALLY like photography. Beautiful.
tremendous photo. love!!!
and yes- about the rest of it- UGH! yes. *samebrain* yep yep. do it .
but, look. look at your posting. you ARE exhilerating. geez. and now i have to think about what a silver cord could refer to ? crap.

Are you tired of hearing from me yet?
Holy macaroni, those are truly raisins! This photo is absolutely priceless.
omg your yellow leaf post is simply about my every single day! i have a deep unabiding capacity to stop everyone in their tracks and say ‘hey! come look at this!’ most people think i’m nuts, but some actually appreciate and tell me so, that i made them stop to ‘smell the rose’.
Ah yes, the acting “as if” is the key.
viva mania! i find it a tough shift back to making mac & cheese after that, but the high of inspiration makes it worth the struggle. and looking at cute little raisin fingers like those reminds me why i’m making the mac.
ha. i just read the yellow leaf… i loved it, and have a lovely few stuck in the treads myself. of myself. i speak to other grownups so rarely that i blurt out anything and everything that i’ve noticed in the past few days/minutes – so the wierdness factor is well settled. i’m glad that you have blogging as an outlet, my life is well prettier for it. (and you can spell exhilarating, which is a nice skill.:)
Your photos are absolutely stunning, possum…
fresh and spirit filled!
