It's been pretty silent on the blog, which nearly always indicates a flurry of activity. Our summer has been full--so full, in fact, that we haven't gotten to do nearly close to everything we had hoped.
I feel a growing sense of urgency about my interactions with friends and family here; we don't have much longer together. While our lives have been so mundanely intertwined, it's a fragile and temporary blessing that I'm soon to miss all too terribly.
Overall, the wedding season has been well-paced, but at times overwhelming. I've learned quite a few new tricks, gained a few insights into next steps I should take about my equipment, skills, and business. I feel happy to be shooting more weddings, but also more contented with my role in the world as a "mere" part-timer.
Right now, the little ones and the family are the most important thing, and the business--while fulfilling and exciting--simply has to be secondary. It's way too easy to look around and get caught up in false and distracting competition.
Well, now that the children are fast asleep, I'd better catch some rest myself; I've got a wedding to finish editing tomorrow!
