While photography is my true passion, it doesn't pay the bills or offer good insurance. So, for the past 21 years, I've pretended to be a software engineer. In reality, 90% of what I do is attend meetings, summarize when things get too complicated for everyone, do traffic control, put out fires, and a tiny bit of coding sprinkled in.

So I had a fun one today, this oddly happens a lot:

Someone brings up whether we should cancel a regularly planned meeting. You get a whole string of messages from everyone saying they have nothing to talk about, but then nobody actually says the meeting is canceled. It just kind of dangles there for 20 minutes until the meeting is supposed to start. Like, are we having the meeting or aren't we? 🤷

Fine… I get out my Very Expensive Wizard's Magic Software Staff of Power and post in the chat: “No meeting today.” Then I get twelve thumbs up from everyone and move on to the next crisis.

To be clear, I am not in charge, I do not own this meeting, but somebody has to keep the ball rolling… I feel like a dung beetle 🤦

He's got a small view of the world but has a lot to say about his life in meadows of Red Feather Lakes CO. He's very worried about how hot and dry it is and there's been a lot of people ignoring the fire bans. He's extremely worried about the safety of his nest and food supply. Carl and I have been friends for 3 years now, every June he comes back to the same bush in our meadow to say hi.

“You might look around for something you always wanted to know, but without a use for that knowledge, without engaging your mind in it, it’s useless. It’s not exercising the parts of the brain that it needs to, to get the benefit. People just give up when it doesn’t keep their attention, or doesn’t seem as interesting as it might have been.”

Photography is very much a use it or loose it skill. Shure you can point a camera at something and press the button but that's just a snapshot, it’s not taking a photograph.

Been a lazy few weeks really after long days at the my primary job, not a lot of time or energy for fun things, but it’s good to take a short break now and then to find some photos around the house. I played with a few different art styles on my OM-5 camera.
