Ah, island life! Whenever I go to an island to stay there for a while, it makes me feel “at home”. That’s strange, because I didn’t grow up on an island at all.
I grew up in a town surrounded by grassland. So why this feeling when I stay on an island? I have a few ideas about that.
Yes, it hurts when people ask me if my pictures are real or made by Artificial Intelligence. They sometimes mean it as a compliment, but still, that hurts. As if A.I. were capable of nicer pictures than what Mother Nature has to offer.
I like reality. Whatever that reality will show. So nature and wildlife pictures are ideal for me, as I am not really interested or particularly good at portrait or abstract photography.
Summer this year has been a busy time. It isn’t even over yet and I have the feeling that Halloween is already knocking at the door. And no, I don’t spend all my time in a Dollar Store, they already have their Halloween stuff out.
It has just been a busy time, that’s all.
Yes, that’s multiple ovens, a sure way to get a good exposure. It has been a while since I have been going to some interesting places. As usual, the house is to blame. It seems that nobody in Nova Scotia lives in a finished house. As a result, the craftsmen are hard to come by.
So I need to do everything myself. From demolition to rebuilding walls and installing plumbing and heating, it all comes down to the ol’ back…
Some things are not easy to write about. Things that remind you of times far in the past, things that make me feel uncomfortable and things that make me angry.
Now, this blog is all about being positive, but sometimes, all the good feelings make way for a sense of unreality (is that even a word?), an unsettling feeling.
