Hey, what happened to the photos?

In short, since I moved, I've had a lot of other stuff going on that's kept me in a non-photographically-oriented frame of mind. I'm still carrying a camera everywhere with me, but.. I'm just not feeling it, and I'm not going to "force" myself to take a picture for the sake of it.

I could post old stuff instead, I suppose.

Actually, I have been making progress on the photography goal front, but it's all been behind-the-scenes work. I now have the extra room in my new place cleaned up/out, ready for the backdrops to be hung and "stuff to happen" once I have some subjects. My equipment is also neatly organized instead of crammed into a trunk, and I have some new toys to play with (Triggertrap!).

I've also spent time working on workflow/process stuff, with the proper bringup of kalamata and experimentation with other tools.

There's the work on printers and generating larger-format prints, some of which was paid. I'm planning on making a pile of larger-format prints, both for my house and for work, including several poster-sized nature shots -- And I'm waiting on delivery for an 104-inch-wide panorama print of the view from the cliffs of Cabo Rojo in Puerto Rico.

So, it's only a dry spell in the sense that I don't have any new photographs to show, and I can probably blame much of that on the relative dearth of "fun" in my life lately. No socializing means far fewer photos since so much of what I do involves playing off of others.

Since I'm settling in here and running out of "gotta do X" projects, I expect the pendulum to start swinging back soon.

This is a normal cycle for me; the focus of my attention naturally waxes and wanes, but in the grand scheme of things, I'm still doing stuff that keeps me busy. As the relative volume of text posted here over the past couple of months can attest.

And on that note, I see a potential photo outside my window.
