I made mussels for the first time a couple weeks ago and I wanted to show you. On Monday I made fresh ricotta cheese and I was completely ecstatic about the results. I wanted to tell you all about it. And yesterday .... don't get me started ... yesterday the kids and I had Brownie Fest 2011. We made three types from scratch, super chocolatey, peanut butter and banana chocolate chunk brownies. We were starting an espresso infused brownie when we realized we ran out of butter.* I wanted to share it with you. But I didn't. Do you know why?
I don't have a camera. I know. I know what you're thinking. "How can a girl who has owned and operated a photography studio for the past ten years, worked with the top of the line professional cameras and is married to another photographer who thinks his job description is buying new cameras NOT have a camera?" I am ashamed. But when I left working at the studio and moved into a marketing job at a sales firm it turns out I didn't get to take one with me. And my new job doesn't offer you one. Insurance ... yes. Cameras ... no. The only camera available to me now is the one on my I-Phone 3GS ... I don't even have the I-phone 4. And those photos just don't do it for me. I feel trapped at my inability to actually adjust my depth of field, my ISO, my flash. It is starting to depress me.
So I can't wait for Chris to get home from work today, sit down to dinner and ask me how I'm doing. He will be completely shocked when I tell him I want to buy a new camera. Oh how the tables have turned.
*Brownie fest was completely impromptu and fun. I said,"Oh my, look at the mess we are making" Atticus responded, "Who cares, we're all having a ball." Perspective adjusted.
