The Third Act

around the neighborhood

I have to say, the Lomo'Instant I've used for the mini film has been pretty consistent.  It doesn't have the controls the wide film version has, but it also doesn't have the same issues with the feed.  I think I'm done with the wide version and will just use the mini until I can raise the funds for a MintRF70 .  Lomo would probably offer to replace the camera I have if I went through the hoops it takes to do so (actually, it wouldn't be that hard and they've been pretty good about it before).  I hate the waste, though, on different levels.  Perhaps it's time I upped my game.

The fact that this smaller camera can fit in a pocket is pretty sweet.  It makes it easy to carry along pretty much anywhere.  

In other creative news, I heated a tray of encaustic medium that has been sitting idle for many months.  I'm making a garland with fall leaves, dipping them in the wax first.  The coating of medium gives the leaves a bit more substance for stringing.  If it turns out nicely, there will be pictures!  It feels good to get my hands going on a project again.  I would like this to be the norm.  As per usual, I'm just working on the stuff (emotional/psychological) that tends to get in my way.

aaannnddd...we're back??

Typepad was having all sorts of issues over the past few days.  I wasn't able t access my blog, let alone post anything.  It's likely that anyone having come to this URL was met with an error message.

It appears things have been righted now.  I have to say, in all the years I've been using this platform, this is the first major site-wide problem that's arisen.

And now, it's November.  Halloween has come and gone.  Aside from the Jack-o-lanterns still sitting on the living room floor, all the decor has been put away. 

I look forward to this dark time of year, and delving into the deep inner work.
