I was pregnant, and the guy in the next trailer painted those black velvet paintings that you see in movies...it was an experience, and probably worth a post...a scorpion lived under the bath mat. Always.<BR/><BR/>Scorpions do keep the cooking lively.orenetahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10616103982088424715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8311151968716514867.post-73356678917719627852007-11-04T13:51:00.000-08:002007-11-04T13:51:00.000-08:00Whatever the reasons may be for you to take photos...Whatever the reasons may be for you to take photos and post them on your blog, keep doing it.

I love the moment of a life captured so that you see your parents as children at a party, the random group on the beach with strangers behind them and all full of stories. They document a family/personal progress through life and - like music and smells - can take you straight back to that particular point in time, so that your memory isn't acting in a linear way at all. I don't have a great camera, and I'm not a good photographer so few of the "arty" ones come out (still try though and got a few good sunsets this year). And it is true that if you don't keep the camera with you you do miss some great shots.Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07201306601361606616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8311151968716514867.post-64187144908160019252007-11-04T00:12:00.001-07:002007-11-04T00:12:00.001-07:00Visiting via the randomizer.
