I haven’t taken a photo in two weeks now. Broken camera, sent to a service center in Virginia to be repaired. They received it Tuesday. *Seven Business Days it will take. Track the repair online. I need the fix. I need this fix. I’ll use your service to see how my baby is doing. Is there anyone I can talk to? It’s just something simple, right?

But the skies are blue and sunny. But the skies are blue and sunny. (Screen Kiss from Thomas Dolby is running through my headphones.)

I’m enjoying this time. It’s giving me time to reflect on everything. To reflect on exactly how it is that I got to this place. And it’s given me time to look at what I’m doing with photos.

I’m not doing anything fantastical. Or magictastic. I haven’t been, at least, for a while. There are moments. Really good moments. I can see those and they make me happy. I can see there are a lot of things I’m not doing. I can see where I could improve. Obviously.

But it’s nice. I see lots of things that I can do. I see good things that I’ve done and can look to see what made it good. I see good things ahead. Really good things.

I’m leaving the country soon. Traveling to South America. I’m going there to shoot some models. I’m excited about this. I have a really good feeling that this is going to work out marvelously. It’s almost like a dream come true, I guess. And somehow, I got here. I want everything to be perfect in Colombia. And I’m sure it will be.
