A Night at the Races

It's Wednesday night race night at North Cape Yacht Club. It was a beautiful evening to be out on the lake. Part of me is jealous that I'm not out there, but like I mentioned in previous post from yesterday - I'm not a racer.. Oh well. Besides, I had to come home to watch American Idol - it's the final show, and I have to see who wins! Go Crystal!

Wow. Stunning shot. Just stunning.

I'd write more but I have to go watch Idol and see if Crystal wins!

How beautiful - they race every Wednesday? What a wonderful photo op! I've never been on a sailboat, but I've heard they take a lot of work. Still, they look so peaceful and fun.

That's a very nice scene. I like the way it's framed by the trees and the sky is beautiful. I took some pictures of a sail boat on a lake yesterday but the sky looked terrible. It's amazing what a big difference a blue sky makes.

A New Year

Back in November, 2009, I promised myself that I would give this a shot until the first of the new year. Here it is a new decade. I was hoping to improve my skills by having a photo daily. Looking back over the past few months, I believe that this journal has helped me in more ways than I can describe.

One of the days missing - December 4th - was the day that I was diagnosed with cancer. If you've been reading, you may have read a few references to my illness in some posts. I plan to continue my project, cancer or not. I may even talk about it a bit more here. I don't want to change the "tone" in my photography (or this blog), but I am here to tell a story through my eyes, my feelings, my emotions. I will be running the gamut of them.... some days fear, sadness, anger, indifference, gratitude and love. I'm hoping it has some impact.

My journey to recovery has begun - I am in the midst of a rigorous treatment plan consisting of radiation and chemo therapies. I still have several weeks to go, and have my good days and bad. There may be some days I may not feel up to taking photos or writing, but I'm working on finding my balance. I can tell you that I still find peace and therapy in what I'm doing with my camera and this journal. In some regards this may be one of the things to help me through. I don't want to be defined by this illness, or my journey to overcome this illness.

Even more than my contribution to this space, I take pleasure and inspiration by viewing and supporting fellow bloggers with passion for photography. Please have a look at these sites and spaces and see the talent that has sparked my interest in sharing my work and thoughts.

So whatever comes of this page, or me... I am giving it a shot as best as I can. It's a journey, and I am pretty tough. So come on the journey with me, and hang out with me while I take my shots :)

Giving it a shot...
