Downtime

Since I'm not bringing as much work home with me anymore (read: none), I find myself sitting and putzing around on the computer for hours on end. It definitely doesn't help that my husband is off at his college classes two nights a week, and then, on the other nights, he's holed up in our bedroom listening to movie scores and studying ...

Left to my own devices, I've found a new passion for photography. I've always liked taking pictures ... But now, I find myself editing and altering them using the pitiful software on my computer.

For example, what do you get when you put your cat in a choke hold and snap a photo using your other arm?

This:


It's certainly not much in comparison with some of the photos I see on Flickr and other blogs that I frequent, but it's a start.

And it gives me something to do.

Hopefully, I'll have something better to photograph than the side of my face and my uncooperative cats one day...
