SlowFoBoMo

It's been about two weeks since I've taken any SoFoBoMo photos, and ten days since doing anything SoFoBoMo (besides reading other SoFoBoMo blogs or seeing two books already!) I've been busy with a lot to do, but also have been quite a bit not busy, too. There has been a lot going on, such as my niece and her family moving into the neighborhood from across the country. I have to admit, it's much more fun taking photos of my niece than scouting out volunteer opportunities, planning, and shooting.

But SoFoBoMo's limit is one month, and time is a ticking. If it weren't bad enough that the end of the month were Wednesday, I got a call today and learned I'll be on a plane first thing Monday morning heading out of the Austin area. Therefore, no more SoFoBoMo photos after about 6AM Monday. I suppose that's a good thing. No need to keep shooting until the end, when there's photo editing and page layout to do.

While doing some late night work, I decided I'd better plan in detail my SoFoBoMo moves for Saturday and Sunday. I realized an event I thought I could hit early Sunday is actually early Saturday. It's so far away, I don't think it's right to drive that far only to take a few photos. While I scanned my potential list of activities, I realized one of the events was going on... right now! So it's about 3AM on a Saturday morning and I'm going to pack up my gear and head on out of here. This may be a fun opportunity to use my off camera flash. Then again, the place I'm headed to is likely to already be well lit.

In the end though, just like when I was a kid, I think I'd rather be playing Mastermind.
