Delta Lake Dam
Looking through my Lightroom catalog it has been about ten weeks since I picked up my camera. The last few images I captured even feel ‘meh’ to me. I wish I had a better understanding about what happened or switched inside me but I don’t. I wasn’t feeling the photography and turned to other hobbies. It is time to be OK with that…
I received an email through the contact form on this blog from a blogging friend. Someone who has been away from photography for a while and is getting back into it. Asking a few questions about posting images and looking for a little help with WordPress.
The opening statement in the email about me not posting in a while and hoping everything is all right struck at me. I get lazy. I forget how much my online friends contribute to me and how much I can give back. I’m a bit of a loner by nature and I don’t put in the effort I should. It is a two-way street but I usually drive it as a one-way…
I want to be better.
Today might not be the day to pick-up the camera as it is currently raining. We are expecting a little snow (if I am to believe the forecast) and I’m wishing we get a nice white coat for the landscape. I want to explore and grab a some images. Until then, I went back ten years to December 2013 and re-processed this image at the Delta Lake dam. The original can be viewed here. I modified the crop from 16×9 to 5×7. I also chose to go with a faded blue look which I feel conveys the cold a little better on this overcast day.
Oh, I almost forget to say thank you to Karma for sending that email… I’m looking forward to seeing what you will be creating.

I’m glad to see you post. I think I know Karma too…I hope to see more photos from you both!
Hi Dawn! That is the idea for me… I’ve been looking at the camera bag and then looking out the window for about a week now. I really want a nice coat of new snow… 😊
Yes, it was me! I really do want to get back to it. Thank you Mike for your kind response. I didn’t mean to make you feel guilty for not blogging, lol – it has been 7 years for me.
You didn’t bring any new guilt to the table about my blogging, I’m good at doing it to myself. It is the connections I don’t want to lose… they mean a lot to me.
This is a beautiful shot. Couldn’t agree more on the connections to fellow bloggers. I tend to “wander away” from WordPress for long periods of time, but each time I return I think I’m getting a little bit closer to not taking any more of those walkabouts!
