passions on my shoulder

Yesterday as I was coming in from work, I met up with Ignacio in the lobby of our building. He was laughing at me because of all the crap I lug to work everyday. I bring at least two bags of ‘things’ to work. These ‘things’ are whatever my current passions happen to be. We joked that I wear my passions on my shoulder instead of my heart on my sleeve.

 I’m a freak. I know some of you may be saying, “You’re just learning that now?” It’s true, I’m a weirdo. I get totally obsessed with whatever is my ‘passion’ of the moment. I spend all kinds of time and money on my passions du jour.

 

Past passions include:

• ~dance class
• ~sign language/interpreting studies
• ~psychic/healing classes
• ~court reporting school
• ~knitting
• ~anything related to France/French
• ~necklace making

 Many of those, I still dabble in here and there, but my current passion du jour is photography. Photography may rate up there with one of my highest costing passions. It figures.

 

In an effort to improve my photography skills, I asked my friend Aimee if I could take photos of her new baby. She obliged me, and here are a couple of my favorites of baby Hanna from our shoot.

 

 

 

 I had grand visions of professional quality pictures and poses, but you know how it goes, “the best laid plans…..”
