Bonding with my Camera in Vermont
Posted by blk1 on October 13, 2007
It’s cold up here and I didn’t take exactly the right clothes. No gloves, hat, winter jacket…but Sharon knows how to share and so I had gloves, special camera gloves, her hat( and I didnt care how it looked on me), a better tri pod than I brought( I didn’t have to waste time stopping home to get mine)…
We began the moment we arrived. Off we went… it was very cold, windy, freezing and I wanted to eat…I had trouble using the tripod, mine and Sharon’s so I just faked it as best I could. I was not comfortable yet, but I knew I would be…
Last night…
Today…early morning, really early… crack of dawn early and outside into the darkness…it was wonderful and not as cold…
But we were drove to the stream….I got to learn things I was dying to know about: manual shooting, in Raw… and I get it… it was a bit too long for me at each shoot…but I didn’t care. and I do get the point about using a tripod…
I just looked at the photos I took. I’m blown away…wow is this great…

Wow! Your photos are so professional looking! You could sell them to a screen saver company or win a nature photo contest, miss Bonnie! I need to send you some of my Mexico photos. Hey thanks for the CD; I will open it tomorrow when I get to work–my home computer is a bit tempermental these days. I was listening to your voice on the HVWP summer CD–the one that is online and it brought a tear to my eye–remembering all the beautiful people in Hudson Valley.
amor y paz amiga,

Thanks Bonnie for rescuing me from myself–and Odell, how are those lovely muchachas of yours? Bonnie–my husband loved your voice on the CD–I told him you were a singer!

Dear Bonnie,
Why do we have to type the word in the box? Anyway I tried skipping that step and it didn’t work! You would be so proud of me–last week my husband’s uncle died and in the obituary posted in the newspaper was a funeral home website. Imagine that! I thought of you Bonnie and how you always stress the importance of being able to blog and all that computer literacy stuff. And you know what? I posted a lovely bilingual poem on the funeral home website—”Los Muertos Que Viven en Mi”–from this summer institute. You would have been so proud of me–they even have a section where you can put your poem on special stationary–so when the family gets the note, it will have a lovely sunset, beach scene, flowers, rocks, etc. something very on the nature side–like those photos you took—hey there is an idea for your pictures.
see ya–I better get back to work,

Dear Melba,
How cool that you posted the poem. I’d love to get a copy of that poem. Maybe you could send to me (?).
Hope that you’re well.
