Leica Love.

I am trying to fall in love with photography again. In that past life I was the art student who wanted nothing more than to create fresh, clever design. Sadly the career path lead to nothing but the boring, static, and mundane. Only to be saved by the most challenging yet rewarding role of motherhood. I soon had three muses to mold and raise, photographing each and every moment so that I could forever preserve the innocent coos and crocodile tears.

Now they've all grown up (at least out of babyhood) and moved onto grade school, leaving me a good portion of the day to figure out what I want to do with the rest of my life.

I know I want to teach. And I've chosen the path of a yogi. However, I have had to take a good hard look at my life and the way I was leading it, for it was hardly a path towards peace and enlightenment.

And then there is that creative side of me that I occasionally find when I have to take photos of another birthday or outing with the kiddos. Lately I've found that I actually still like doing it, even if it means devoting some time glued to the computer.

Then one day someone lead me to this site: I Love My Leica. And indeed, I have fallen in love. Sadly it's the sort of love that is way beyond my reach due to the hefty price tag. But I can still admire from afar. Sigh.
