246. That's the number of days between my last blog and today. That's approximately 8 months, 35 weeks, 5904 hours, or 354240 minutes. The main reason for such a long vacay from blogging? My life got substantially busier and it gave me more excuses to stop me from sitting down and writing. I say excuse because I know there is always a time I can make if I will it.
But it's also the truth that quite a bit has happened this year for me. To name a few not necessarily in chronological order: been to a zoo in the states for the first time, been to Yosemite for the first time, set up my own photography website (www.q-photographs.com), got into the "professional" side of the business and shot engagement/wedding.family portraits/events photos, my photo was published in the special edition for B&W magazine, sprained an ankle in the midst of a photoshoot which impaired me for a few good weeks, bought a new camera that I have been eyeing on for a long time, met some new people, parted with some acquaintances, and so forth.
Probably such happenings are normal for some people in a span of 8 months. But it has been quite a busy 8 months for someone like me. What am I most proud from the period? Well, actually I would rather keep that one to myself. So let me rephrase. What am I second-most proud from the period? The fact that I never really stopped taking photos. In the span, I have taken about 13,000 clicks. So if I do a simple math, I was taking one photo every 30 minutes approximately. Hopefully I will find, I mean I will MAKE time to share the stories behind some of those photos on this blog going forward. Thanks to Jessica for reminding me that someone actually still read this blog and for rejuvenating my motivation to continue.
The shot above was taken less than a week ago during the routine afternoon walk. Year is almost passed and it's the autumn again. It was taken with FujiFilm Finepix X100 which I acquired about a month and a half ago. I am definitely having fun with this little superman. Will share my review on the camera another time.
