I find it hard to keep up with updates in Photoshop. I suppose I am a dinosaur of sorts. In a previous corporate life, I considered myself a player gobbling up the newest software. Photoshop is so deep with seemingly endless functions. When I started photographing with my first digital in 2013, I was fortunate enough to have time to study for hours a day and jump in the car in search of interesting subjects. Now my unwillingness to migrate from Bridge to Lightroom with the rest of humanity makes it easy to feel inferior in the editing world. But that's what is familiar, and it is a comfort that I don't plan on moving from right now, in editing anyway.
Times have changed. I have a good job and less time to devote to photography. I'm attached to my 10-year-old Sony a7. Its light and easy to carry, especially in street photography. I know that the newer models are amazing, and hopefully sometime in the not-too-distant future I will own one.
With the technical advances (temporarily!) leaving me in the dust, my artist self yearns for the good old darkroom days of yore. I'm romanticizing the perceived simplicity and intuitiveness of film.
This blue old gal was sitting in someone's front yard in Ingram, Texas. Everyone loves a bug.
