So now I'm sitting at the airport, writing my daily entry.
I spent most of my day editing the photos from yesterday's shoot. I did alright, though I missed a critical shot because my autofocus was off.
I saw this one sequence I was eager to see, and everyone was blurry. I tried to save one photo, but you can't save blurry.
It wasn't till I pulled out my camera this evening that I saw my 50mm lens was set to manual focus. Damn.
I need to be more intuitive with checking my equipment.
I wanted to finish editing Matt's event before I left for El Paso to bring mom home.
This is another bittersweet trip.
This will be the last time I fly to El Paso with a home waiting for me.
Mom is finally coming to live whatever remaining time God is giving her with my brother and me here in Austin.
I'll arrive tomorrow, check out what's going on, pack up any remaining items she has left, and bring them to Austin.
If nothing else, the events of the last month have been somewhat lucky to pull this off. Though, it would be nice still have a steady income.
I do want to document this trip since it's my last time going home. I'll try to do the best I can.
I've got a vague notion of what I want in my head.
It's the implementation that always gets me.
Other than that, it's been a weird weekend with the kid's impromptu trip home and the wife suffering through some shoulder issues.
As much as I'm looking forward to being my mom to Austin, the drive is what always gets you.
We'll see what happens on this trip.
I'm thinking of visiting some old friends before I leave for the last time. As I said, I don't know when I'll make it back to El Paso.
In other news, I need to cultivate daily photography and video habit starting tomorrow.
I'd like to make shooting at least twenty-seven pictures a day.
I've seen this one idea where AOWS creates contact sheets of his daily photography, which seems like a really good idea.
I'm finally committing to Adobe Photoshop. I wanted to mainly use it for Adobe Bridge and Camera Raw, but I keep getting this one error so I can't use it.
I'll try to work on it when I'm in El Paso and see if O can get it to work.
Either way, I'll probably post this when I land.
Keeping this streak alive has been challenging these last couple of days.
But I'm happy I'm doing it. It gives me something to make sure I do every day.
Plus, it gives me a chance to think about my day.
It doesn't matter if I write about it the next day or that day.
I should set the alarm about posting something at the end of the day.
Plus, it has to be five hundred words.
That's the rule.
