I’ve always dreaded and welcomed the end of summer. I love the slower pace of life during the summer. Having more time to do nothing or anything I want. By August though, I’m weary of the heat and the humidity and there’s a small part of me that craves a bit more routine in my life. I accomplish more when I have less time. Or maybe I just make better use of the time I have.
Once the alarm starts going off at the end of August and it’s time to go back to school, I really feel like summer is over even though there’s actually almost another month of summer, officially. Some years I’m more excited for it than others. This is is one of those years. I’m working with a new teacher who is full of life and ideas! I will cherish watching her work her magic in planning for our students. I get the privilege of hanging out with a kindergarten student in need this year. A little one brand new to public school. I can’t wait to see how much fun and growth we can accomplish this year!
I’m also excited that I have two opportunities to share my passion for photography. I’ll be presenting at a photography group I joined many years ago, when learning photoshop was like trying to read a novel in a foreign language and I’ll be teaching a class at an adult night school called “Embracing the Blur!”
“Embracing the Blur” is a creative photography class based mostly on Lensbaby Lenses and equipment! I’ll be showing you all the ways you can create fun, artistic images for yourself! It doesn’t matter if you shoot macro, landscape or even portrait work, there’s a Lensbaby or a Lensbaby product for you! If you’re interesting in joining me in-person, here’s the link to the class. I’d love to see you there!
