Off to Dallas
I’m heading to Dallas for the weekend to visit the parental units. I have two photography assignments that are overdue, so I plan on spending most of my time in Big D photographing architecture and, perhaps, finding someone for some outdoor portraits. Dad has an event to photograph Saturday morning, so I’ll be shooting with him then, as well. It’s going to be a photography-filled weekend.
Sorry for the lack of posts recently. I haven’t felt like writing. Actually, that’s not true. I have felt like writing, but haven’t been able to get my head into it. I had actually been working on a post for almost four weeks before I realized that it just wasn’t coming together. So, I trashed it.
I’ve got nothing.
Michael: I know you had problems with the move from Cleveland to the Dallas area. Although young children usually adjust to a situation of this nature more readily than adults, you dared to be different.
Cleveland is/was, and always will be your home town. When we moved here, you left all your friends, family and familiar surroundings behind. You were only 8 years old then, and since “people and friends” have always been of utmost importance to you, I am sure you felt lost and lonely without them. It takes a long time to re-establish yourself in a new community. I’m sure you felt like an outsider looking in. That’s normal.
You aren’t paranoid. You simply have your preferences, and Dallas isn’t one of them. It isn’t my first choice either.
