Still searching for wisdom

No new pictures were taken today.  Just so you know.  Just so you’re not wondering why there wasn’t the little expandable option picture.

Actually it’s a bit of a problem

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I’m trying to keep up with the weekly assignments at the Digital Photography School.  Unlike the first week’s assignment, which was an exploration of Shallow Depth of Field, this week’s assignment has less to do with a physical technique of photography where you learn to take a picture better, and more to do with creating a story out of your picture (taking a better picture as it were).  I’m supposed to take a picture in the Theme of “Wisdom”.  I have an idea.  I hope it works.  The problem is that I actually have to leave my home with my camera in hand and go to the spot where I’d take the picture.

It’s a big problem.

I had thought to try and get over to my spot at some point over the weekend.  Give that it’s nearly 9:00 pm on a Sunday, you can guess how well that turned out.  Now, my only option is to try over my lunch break.

I cherish my lunch break.  It’s nearly sacred to me.  It’s a time where I don’t have to get up and do something for someone else.  It’s just for me.

And yes, I know that taking this picture is just for me.  And furthermore, I know that the place where I’d take the picture is maybe 5 minutes away by car.  If that.

Basically I’m lazy.

Hey, at least I acknowledge it.
