I have been lazy lately and haven't really been checking up on other blogs. However, today I did so and noticed a few new postings by faceless butcher. He's a friend of mine who has ventured into South Korea. He has an awesome writing style and a unique perspective. I hope that you will check it out.

Otherwise, my family is still visiting. I feel constantly tired when they visit as there is no real "down" time. I love them dearly and enjoy visiting with them but it always takes a toll on me. I bribed my niece and nephew with ice cream yesterday so that they would let me photograph them. I hope some of them turn out... especially them shoving ice cream into their faces.

I am surprised that I have allowed myself to take my camera out. Two nights ago, a good friend dressed up in her belly-dancing costumes and I photographed her. My niece acted as a photographic assistant and we went to the local university and took about three rolls worth. Dropped them off at the lab yesterday and will have to drop off some others tonight. It's funny. When I get busy and tired, I seem less likely to be interested in photographing things. However, I forced myself to get out there and do it. I can't wait to see the results.

I should be back to normal by next week. I have a birthday coming up and haven't even really thought about what it will be like to become 41. It's just a number really...
