Photo Assignment #1 - Check
My photographer friend Noah gave me an assignment over a week ago. Pick at least 3 photos from this summer to get enlarged. It should be simple, but I am decision challenged. Greatly. This week, I calibrated my monitor, reorganized my computer folders, set up bloglines, sent an email to DC gov about swimming pool hours, calculated how much on spent on new books that I haven't read, and reorganized my pens. By day five, I started shifting from hip to hip, the anxiety of the avoided was building.
Midway though reviewing class catalogues for the third time, I brain slapped myself. But I am being so productive I argued. Umm, it's procrastination disguised as a meaningful activity, I spit back. I had lost patience with myself. I pulled the back of my shirt and tossed myself midway up the hedge. Now climb! And I did. I went through well over 300 photos - and it didn't take as long as I thought. In fact, I was almost efficient (well if you ignore the 7 days prior).

I'd love to see the iceberg photo enlarged and the boat lounge.

nice pictures, but if you are going to pick 3 out of the hundreds, why pick two that are soooooooooo similar?

This is only the start - I will be enlarging more.
I picked those two because I wanted them to be in a frame together.
So I guess I cheated. I owe Noah one more picture.
