He came into my life in my early twenties and quickly dominated my life. We went everywhere together and then slowly, ever so slowly… I just didn’t have time for him anymore. Work got in the way…

Then he showed up again some fifteen years later. I played with him for a while, then slowly pushed him aside and gave him the cold shoulder. Once again, work got in the way…

He showed up again when I moved to NYC and has consumed my life since. He keeps me up late at night, yet he’s ready to play first thing the next morning. I just can’t get enough of him. I’m consumed. I’m addicted. Perhaps you’ve even noticed.

I think it’s time to go public. To tell everyone. To share with everyone that I want this relationship and I want it to work. I’m willing to accept the struggles and learn from my mistakes. I’ll work at being open for change and be willing to give and take. We’ll work as a team and share our successes as well as our failures. And more importantly, I’ll make quality time for him.

My camera, my love affair with photography.

I wrote this at the beginning of 2011 and my love continues to grow and I continue to grow!  I think this quote from Rick Sammon really sums it up for me…

Don’t think so technical, although technical is important. 

When you play, play with feeling.

Play with passion. 

Above all…play for yourself.
