I am squeezing in this journal entry while at work (ok, naughty i know, but i’m done for the day and want to look busy).
working full time sure puts a dent in the artistic endeavours – and i’ve run out of things at work that i want to photograph. my co-workers are getting used to it, one even gave me 3 dead leaves of her ficus in case i thought they might make a good picture. but woe betide me – i had loaned my girly pink camera to my daughter.
I should have learned i know, from loaning my old camera to my husband and having it go thru the washing machine, but i can never deny my darling baby girl of 23. so, not only did i not have my camera about my person, but i had the worry of what might happen to her (the camera that is, not my Em).
you can only imagine my relief when Pearl (for that is what i think i must call her as she is pink and pearly) was returned to me, intact and unharmed. And the photos that were taken? they met with my approval – arty shots of empty glasses lined up on the restaurant table, along with shots of shoes – of Em’s friends and, by the end of the night, the waitress’s shoes too. and how could i not be pleased – wine glasses and shoes – 2 of my all time favourite things.
Dont you love a happy ending?
