Ling was asking the other night why a series of photos I took over the weekend at home haven’t been put up on our blog here nor the Flickr album we’ve got.
Answer: I’ve been sitting on them! Half of the posts I’m doing these days is on Hannah. The remaining half is split between photography, entertainment, and a fraction of that remainder still on News & Letters. I try to spread out posts across topics, and of late try not to turn our blog here into a dominantly baby one.
The funniest thing though is that the Baby Blues posts are the easiest for me to do. They’re centered on Hannah, and unlikely to offend anyone – and I have a window of at least 10 years before Hannah gains the necessary language skills to comprehend my posts on her LOL. The entertainment posts are critical and by necessity at least semi-analytical. Those require brain power, though they’re enjoyable to write as I like drawing relationships between a film I’ve just watched to films I’ve seen already.
The hardest to do by far are the News & Letters ones, since I’m writing on something that’s current + this blog is Google-able. The days in which I could derive some entertainment value by engaging in online wars are long gone past me. These days, when I post something on current affairs up, I restrain myself not because I’m afraid of engagement when someone disagrees. I’m just tired of it and don’t see the point unless it’s with someone I know in person and whom I can trust to state his or her case politely. I post and write for fun and because writing invigorates me, not to fight with someone I don’t know.
So, with that out of the way, here’s the first selection of pictures taken over the weekend at home:
I took these using the Sigma 24-60mm f2.8 lens, with the late 10:30 AM morning sun shining very partially through the curtains. I didn’t use the flash, and there’s some very mild camera shake. The lens wasn’t stabilized – boo!
Wonderful! Keep ’em coming.
