I have a camera zit on my forehead

I really wish I meant that I have a zit on my forehead that is a camera, because that would be pretty darn awesome. But what I actually mean is that I have a zit on my forehead that was caused by a camera—much less impressive, and a great deal more painful.

But because I am a dedicated photographer, I still spent a small chunk of time yesterday afternoon aggravating that already irritated blemish by pressing my camera to my face. And frankly, I’m not sorry, because I snagged some priceless shots, like this one of my friend Jackie:

Jacquelyn

I’m not sure what it is—maybe the change of season, maybe the college experience, maybe the fact that the rainy weather has made it virtually impossible to shoot outdoors—but I am feeling inspired again.

I don’t know if anything will come of this, because I have so little time, but I will try to eke a few good photos out of these creative juices while they are around.

    Hey Erin! Like I said on your Flickr page, I absolutely love this photograph! I love the colours in it.

    Camera zits are things that just … come with the love, I say. I’ve had thousands. They disappear. Don’t worry :D

    So when I hit the button to open up all the blogs in my personal blogroll I was not expecting to be met with a photo like this!
