Those are getting almost obsolete... but I'm sure that professional
photographers must still be using them... :)
I'm pretty sure the 35 mm ones are obsolete by now. It's just that
I can use them so much better than most of the digital ones that I've played with, and my shots always come out looking spot on when I do things that way.
If nothing else, I need to get good enough at researching my
ways out of the rabbit holes that I find myself in (in the code) well enough so that I don't have to rely on other people around me. I
haven't forgotten the lesson that you only give someone credit for changing once they've changed, and I'm trying to make sure that I don't get burned when at some point in the future my finances take another
hit due to others. (Long story here, not really sure I should share
all of the details just yet, though I may have alluded to them
before).
It's broken up by struggling to find some more interesting things
to do with my son... Today is the day that I play catch 'n
release. Wish me luck on the white knuckles of having my son out
and about in this kind of area. ;)
Being a week or so later, how did you and he survive...? ;)
I failed. I went out and looked for a lot of places with him, and
we weren't able to turn up a single place in all of our hours out that had enough kids. Or, like, _any_ free range kids. I'm expanding the boundaries that I'm using for looking in, but as mentioned before,
that's got its own problems with the whole scenerio, too. Trying to remain ever optimistic, I am!
There is that, too... :) When you have more space on your own, you'd be
able to store things better... :)
*crosses fingers* I was at the point where I was somewhere between 25-33% of the way to being able to safely start looking at new pads,
and that's all gone right now because of someone else's bank 'oopsie'. Hence the drama that I alluded to above. I know it's not that far
away, and that it'll come in even faster once I'm getting my next
checks _and_ repaid for the outstanding balance right now, but it's
still frustrating as hell, if you'll pardon my lanugage.
I'm trying to make that the standard per week. This summer could
be a really good time for digging myself out of the hole that we've
ended up in for a bit.
Sounds wonderful.. ;) I'm sure that it's a great feeling... relief,
too... :)
Well, wish me luck on this next week of finances. I'm scraping
bottom right now again when I should be four digits in the green. At least I had enough to pay a little more against the card that I had to almost max out getting treatment for my cat. :P
As I said, I'm sure that the pros probably still use them, at least as part of their arsenal... there certainly are some shots that they work much better for... :)
I've been getting bits and pieces... probably enough to piece things together to some extent... And as far as the work goes, I'm sure that
the more you work with it, the better and easier it will fall into place for you... and you'll gain the confidence you need, too... :)
It's not a failure if there just isn't the proper opportunity... And if there isn't a properly safe spot to do the catch and release, then that just needs to wait till there is a safe spot... :)
Just think of it as a minor setback... even though it feels like much more... as you say, it'll work itself out, once you get the checks directly and get repaid for the part that got snagged...
