I was looking through my photos tonight and realized I can count the number of pictures I’ve taken so far this year on one hand and still have fingers left over. That’s pretty sad. I’m not sure why I haven’t been shooting much this month. I think it might be the cold weather. I usually shoot a lot outdoors so with temperatures staying consistently in the single digits or below, I haven’t been spending much time outside. And I don’t have a lot of interesting subjects in my apartment, so that hasn’t produced any images either.
I was thinking of doing a self-portrait tonight, but I discovered I couldn’t find my shutter remote. It’s a wireless system. I have the transmitter, but I can’t find the receiver that plugs into the camera. I looked everywhere I could think of. The last time I remember having it was when I was shooting the pictures of the deer last fall. I’m thinking I must have dropped the receiver in the woods somewhere the last time I was out. Since it’d be buried under snow now, there isn’t much point in heading out to look for it. I doubt it would have survived this long anyway. I wasn’t too terribly impressed with the build quality of the components. I don’t think I’ll buy the same one again.
I’m still excited and looking forward to photography school this summer, so this isn’t a lack of interest in photography. It’s just a little lull. I’ll start shooting again soon. In the meantime, I’ll start shopping for remotes.
