Adjusting That Mindset

I got up from my desk and walked out to the kitchen to heat up the air fryer and start cooking some lunch. When I walked back into Harry’s room, Robin Sparkles was laying down on the day-bed. I reached into my pocket for my iPhone and then stopped myself. My Z5 was literally three feet away. If I want to start using the real camera instead of my phone camera then I actually have to stop reaching for my phone, right?

I picked up my Z5 and snapped a picture of Miss Robin. There. Let’s adjust that mindset, Robbie. Let’s do it. Let’s get back to using the real camera instead of the iPhone camera. I need to get a new point and shoot if I am going to move away from the iPhone again. Something pocket sized, and no one makes those anymore. At least they don’t make decent ones anymore. Well… Nikon doesn’t make them anymore. Ugh.

Anyway, here’s a cat.

My Camera is Back

I haven’t had my Nikon Z5 available for the last week and a half. When my step son is home in Vermont I work from home at a desk in his bedroom. When he comes home to stay with us I stay out of his bedroom and work from home at a desk in the cellar. For the last week and a half he has been home with us. At the time he came home, my Z5 (and both of my film cameras) were in his room on the desk. They stayed there while he was home because I don’t like sneaking into his space, probably because I feel a little guilty about using his room for work.

He went back to Vermont yesterday so I’m back in his room today and I have my cameras again! Today’s photo a day picture is a mirrorless sucker!

I also moved the plants that are clipped from my step daughter’s plant back into his room too. They spent the week and a half in the living room on the bay window. The cats ate a couple of leaves off of one of them.

I want to try to use the mirrorless camera for the every photo over the last month of the current photo a day thing, but I doubt I will be able to do that. I’m too dependent on my iPhone. sorry.

Up to No Good

It was a little after 5:00am. I walked into the living room and saw this:

If ever there were two creatures who were caught in the act of being up to no good…

The question is… what kind of trouble were they about to get into? Sneaky little furballs.

Car Music Saturday

Insert the sound of giggling here.

I did some more car music today. I drove to a not-quite-as-empty-as-I-would-have-liked parking lot in town and sat in the car recording vocal tracks. I got through five songs. Every song in the 50 songs in 90 days pipeline that had lyrics but not vocals, now has vocals. Sweet.

Lily is not impressed with me at all.

Robin is so completely unimpressed that she barely acknowledges my existence.
