Camera Sabbatical

January 6, 2011

Starting yesterday I am taking a "forced" sabbatical from photography. For over a year now the connector cover (the little flap that closes over the USB connector and other gizmos) hasn't closed properly. I couldn't bring myself to part with my camera for an unspecified period of time, never mind the cost of shipping and fixing the darn thing.

But I knew it must be done... sooner or later. I decided last fall to send it in this month. Historically, January is my "driest" photo month being that the indoor natural lighting during this dark time is so terrible and the outdoors is freeze-your-fingers cold.

I have some birthday and Christmas money to help pay for the fix and so yesterday I packaged it up to send off (insurance cost more than actual shipping charges). 

It's been quiet on the blog this week. Trust me, I've noticed. I am not taking a blogging sabbatical though it might look that way. There is a lot of back-to-routine work to do since coming home and then there's the big news that I've mentioned a couple times but am still unable to share (killing me by the way). It all makes for an intense week. 

Hoping yours is a bit more sane. 

PS. Yes, I do take photos now and then of myself in the mirror. This time was to show off the new camera strap cover I won with the Homeschool Blog Awards at The Homeschool Post last fall. The cover was donated by the talented Ruthanne at eclectic whatnot. I love it! I won some other cool stuff also. Thank you all so much for voting (smile).
