Self portrait on the run

Telling tales from around the world

Self portrait on the run

I love to travel. I really do. However, I have been home less than three weeks from my last jaunt and now I am off again. It feels sort of crazy and kind of irresponsible and completely wonderful. But I’ve got to give the new camera more of a workout. And I’m bringing my work with me, so it won’t be all play. (Yeah, I’ll keep telling myself that!

Anyway, this is my shadow on my office wall in the dead of night, with a small lamp behind me. The new camera is this good… Well, the wall isn’t really gold leaf – I threw that on for fun in Photoshop… add a little interest. The stuff are bits and pieces of my life, people and places in no particular order at all.

Your shadow fits right in with the other global knick knacks. It looks like a native Peruvian woman with her little black hat on.

Enjoy, Veronica. If you can, why not?

You are not the first first to make that observation about my hat(s). I must get to Peru one of these days and purchase an authentic one!

I love the shadow and agree that it fits in well with your collection. After having just read about your flight, I realize that you did not actually end up with snow and cold crisp air . . . sorry.

As to the frequent travel, the camera must be broken in. No doubt about it.

- I figure one must make plans in order to have direction, but one really should have no illusions that what one plans and what results will ever be the same…
  
  The camera does not mind that there is no snow… It’s quite excited at the thought there may be frost out there this morning…

2017 – year 9 for Titirangi Storyteller

Yeah, yeah, I keep promising to be better, but it just doesn't happen... I seem to have been so busy with my ever expanding business, which is primarily managing other people's social media, I've truly neglected my own. And it's just easier to post on Facebook, though strangely, it's not as personal as posting here. I will endeavour to be better. And make the time to post here, cos I'm never going to just have the time. VMcP

Miscellania

If I were an island, I should lay in wait until a kind bird came and sat upon me to keep me company. And if a shipwrecked sailor drifted upon my shore I would be in heaven.

Do you feel like an island? Or like a sailor? Maybe it depends on the day or the time of day or the island or the sailor. I'd rather be a bird. Would I rather sit on the island? Or on the sailor sitting on the island? And what of the water? Surely the water would want to have a say in all of this. The water would probably insist.

Appease the water, bird, island and sailor, dazzle it with trinkets and pretty words.
