The Drought Continues

I don't know the cause, I can't pinpoint the reason - but I am still in a bit of a creative funk.

Only times I have used my camera has been for clients, I don't go shooting for fun anymore.

I dropped my 24-70L back on July 25th and it is dented, haven't bothered to ask Canon about fixing it. I just don't care about it right now. There are many days I think "finish processing the last two weddings and sell all your gear. Just don't bother with photography anymore".... and I would like to know at what point that happened? What caused that "switch" in me?

I've looked at getting into video... the crew over at Stillmotion inspires me a lot - would love to play with a Steadicam, etc -- but that is more gear to buy and more skills to learn... not sure if I want to do that now.

So I've basically been spending more time interested in the outdoors again. I've been going geocaching a lot and that takes me to some cool places. I am stocking up on GOOD outdoor gear -- during my Boy Scout years a lot of the gear I had wasn't so great and it kinda turned me off to hiking, etc. Now I do a lot more gear research and get good stuff (usually)

There is also all the work going on around the house.... building raised beds for the garden next year, weedwhacking, mowing, chainsaw work, replaced two faucets and one sink, fixing toilets, etc, etc, etc. It never ends. I was replacing the outdoor faucets, all except one went smoothly -- that one started to leak.... .... 3' underground. So I had to dig that up and fix that. Just a lot of work. I would love to move out... but my Mom can't take care of this property and house by herself, and she won't sell the house until we finish it (and the market improves... so like, 2012.

I don't know... it is late and I think I am starting to ramble. Maybe I will find some time this weekend to write some more.
