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.
