1. I still like taking pictures.
2. I am more aware of the world around me.
3. I look at things more often through my eye's photo lens instead of my busy mind's eye.
4. Some tired days it was a chore to take a picture, but I was always glad I did afterward.
5. I found myself outside in the yard more often, and usually stayed there awhile, taking pictures to my heart's content.
6. I discovered I enjoy the writing process, even though I don't think I'm any good:).
7. Many days it was a challenge to find something interesting to capture.
8. I still like taking pictures:)
Ray's Shoe Repair Shop
I took in a belt that needed a notch added in to Ray's Shoe Repair shop in Kaysville this afternoon. The place is a wealth of sensory details. It is messy and small, smells of old leather, dirty and comforting and pretty much the color of browns. And there's a wonderful large turquoise Singer sewing machine still in use and 35 years old. Ray was very busy, but very nice, and fixed my belt for free. It made me want to find something else to bring in so I could pay him.
Here's Ray. Although I described the shop as "brown," I guess it really wasn't. It just felt brown.
Here's the 35 year-old Singer treadle, sitting in the middle of the floor. I wonder what the pennies are for?
