It’s been a long time since I’ve posted any photos (April 27th, to be exact). It’s not for lack of taking the pictures - I’ve taken a bunch - but it’s the processing and uploading that I’ve been behind on. I’ve been busy working on Lucid projects, which I thoroughly enjoy, but take up most of my time. The few chances I have to get out, I bring the camera, but when I come back home it’s back to work, not developing. So I’ve had photos piling up for weeks.
I’ve gotten most of the photos developed (except from the North Carolina hiking trip this past weekend), and am slowly but surely getting them posted. Shoot, I even have a few more San Francisco photos to go…
Now that I’m done whining, I’ll get to the fun stuff.
The upcoming PopPhoto Contest has me excited. They’ve got 6 categories (Action/Sports, Candid/Humor, Nature, Architecture, People, Travel/Places) and I’d like to enter just about all of them. They’re $10 per entry, so I’ve got to see how many pennies I’ve got when I get the choices finalized. I’ve got a few ideas on what I would like to enter for each category, but I’d also like your input too; if you know a photo that would work perfectly for a particular category, just let me know - many of my photos get lost in the shuffle and I don’t notice them.
This summer is turning out to be a pretty exciting season - I’ve got a bunch of trips planned and plenty to do. At the beginning of August, I’ve got a trip with a group of hikers out of Atlanta, including my friend David. Then two weeks later we have our annual Sapelo Island trip. That trip is my rejuvination for the rest of the year. A nearly private beach, a great campsite, and a big group of my friends: how could that not reinvigorate?
Also, we just got back from and Independence Day hikng trip in the Pisgah National Forest, southwest of Asheville, North Carolina. We left early Thursday morning and returned to Columbus on Sunday night. Aside from some knee problems, it was a good trip - the rain held of (for the most part), the weather was accommodating, and the views were spectacular. More on that later though.
Okay, there’s a lot to do tomorrow and if I’d like to stay on top of things, I need to go to bed.
Goodnight!
