And if you were living with the trauma of being been bit by numerous dogs as a child, youโd hate dogs too.
So when a friendโs friend asked if I wanted to dog and house-sit for her, my immediate internal reaction was โNO chance!โ
Then she threw a curveball โ a Google Images link for โGuanajuato.โ This triggered my self-diagnosed compulsive wanderlust disorder (and unreasonable addiction to tacos) and my fingers found themselves frantically replying "YES ME!"
Yes! Hope everyone had an incredible holiday season and a very happy New Year! As the (food?) hangovers begin wear off, letโs kick into this one in high gear โ letโs do the art thing! Just a few days ago, I got word from the ASMP (American Society of Media Photographers)Los Angeles chapterthat two of my images were among the 32 chosen to be displayed at the 24th Annual International Los Angeles Photographic Art Exposition, otherwise known as Photo LA.

In a strange sense, I feel like I'm preparing for something. I spend a lot of time alone, very little social interaction - isolated from the constant deluge of stimulation and media saturation. I'm left alone in my thoughts, in my being.
So it was one of those days, the thought process just goes into overdrive and begins to cloud any reasoning and logic. The past comes up, the future comes up, all of the baggage surrounding both start to rear their nosy and intrusive little lizard heads. Sometimes this would last for hours, then days, then weeks, but more and more you begin to see that there's a way outโฆwell, at least temporarily.
A few recent gradual revelations are telling me that perhaps part of me feels like I'm coming into my own in a lot of respects as far as photography is concerned. And I suppose it's really just a matter of perspective and paying attention rather than just letting life happen and allowing the monotony to take charge of the psyche. Day in and day out I'm editing photos robotically for a website, and many of the photos are photos I'd never think to take myself - small, close-up details, seemingly devoid of context.
