Item #3 crossed off my late-summer bucket list, and they said it couldn't be done. I don't know who "they" are, but I'm sure someone said it. (See the Pop-Tart Post)

Why do good vacations make you question everything? How we live, how we learn, how we spend our time.

All I know is that I have two more items on the late-summer bucket list, and time, it is a-wastin'.

Pure Form Photography

I don't claim to be a photographer, but I love taking pictures. Maybe one day I will get serious about it, but then again, maybe I won't. My photos are minimally edited. I don't use Photoshop, I don't even own Photoshop. If a picture is good, it can stand on its own.
