Deadlines by lauriehiggins

Deadlines

Despite that title, I was feeling alot more lighthearted today, so I took a lighthearted look at my demons and just laughed at them...writing deadlines and canning deadlined with editors tapping their foot and fruit flies hovering over tomatoes, a pile of bills to pay and a house to clean, and then front and center the thing I most want to do - play with my camera and learn how to actually use it. It cracked me up that I didn't notice the camera cap is upside down until I uploaded, but that is kind of perfect for my life lately. The weather has been so glorious, I've been taking my laptop outside to work on the deck. That might be contributing to my happy mood...
Great collage. I can relate!

Oh yes, I can relate in so many ways. I have somany things I want to do, but till I get home from work I do not feel like doing a thing. I am getting behind in life.

Yup. Awesome representation

Is that window cleaner too? A clean house is the sign of a wasted life? Hope you reach your deadlines soon! Must be nice working on the back porch in the sun! x

Glad that you are keeping a happy mood in the middle of those deadlines. Great shot.

What a great still life! You got the ingredients of your life! :-)

Nice shot Laurie! I know the feeling, I haven't picked up my camera much lately because there is still so much Irene cleanup in my yard and not to mention on my windows.LOL

I hope you don't mind, but I just facebook stalked you and sent you a long message about manual modes. :)

These are the times of your life, Laurie, enjoy them. Nice light hearted shot. Good for you.

Great photo. Good to stare all your demons in the face and laugh.
Reminds me of how you said to me that you have all of the exact elements in your life that make you happy, but in the wrong proportions sometimes. Makes life hectic and hard sometimes but I'm so happy that you enjoy every minute. Love you, cuz! Can't wait to go on a photo shoot excursion with you next week.

I'm so jealous of your camera. Wow, it;s a beauty. :-) Glad you are enjoying the outdoors...it has been rather pretty these past few days

I absolutely love this, and perfect for your crazy life of late. You and I have the same lens, I believe. I think your photos are amazing so far with your new camera, and can't wait to see what else you have to show us.
September 15th, 2011  
Great shot.. and I agree with Paula on the title of the shot.. I am also jealous of the camera.. hope life calms down soon
September 15th, 2011  
I can relate to crazy full days! Sometimes I can't figure out where they go. Love the shot, totally love the upside down lens cap and remember, I've got the perfect homemade fruit fly trap if things get out of hand in that department. Can't help with the deadlines and tapping feet though.

we need a "like" button for jennifer c's comments, lol. and i would be interested in steph's trap recipe. @stepheesue @jenrobcarr

your pic is great for prioritizing --- camera on top, note pad on the bottom and the rest of the stuff in between. no one will tell the editors tho.
