Focus and Concentration

For those that know me, they know that these are the bane of my existence...only because these qualities elude me most days. I know I have it in me...they came in very useful when delivering my babies (one of which was 9 lbs. 4 oz.) at a birth home with no drugs...and it was a conscious decision to do that way. So, of course, I'm even more frustrated because I know the qualities exist within me, I just can't seem to access them at will...very frustrating for a control-freak! And there are so many distractions...facebook, email, iphone, the internet in general, messy house that I know I need to clean up...

So I Google-d (imagine that verb didn't exist 10 or so years ago) Focus and Concentration How To. There is actually an App available to me via the iPhone. Ironic considering the iPhone is a HUGE resource for distraction (new name...iDistract). Anyways, the App is called "Total Focus & Concentration". It is comprised of a series of exercises to do to increase your focus and concentration. I haven't bought yet, but boy I'm desperate! My daily task list isn't getting any shorter!

I Left My Heart...

It never fails. When I go back to the City, I fall in love all over again. It inspires me...refreshes me. I love the curved windows.

...the attention to detail

...the mix of organic and structured.
I guess there will always be a part of me that belongs to San Francisco.

Keep On Looking

It's amazing. My aunt and uncle live on the side of Mt. Diablo. Beautiful.

Fish Stories

We made a new friend. His Name is Dr. No No. If you stand in front of him and shake your head as if to say, "No" he'll tell you, "No." You can check him out in the Kneisel's Auto Body lobby in Citrus Heights.

Happy Easter

May your easter basket overflow with wonderful surprises!

P.S.: I shamelessly stole this idea from another photo from a pro photographer...hey, imitation is the highest form of flattery!

Playing with Light

Eric and I went to a photo club gathering last night and was able to play with some of the strobes and reflectors...but the best was catching the last bit of natural light that streamed into the studio.
