PS Through My Toy Camera Lens

This Is What Fifty Looks Like

My birthday prompted a self portrait.

Couldn't believe how rusty I was setting up a pic on the tripod.

Several years ago, during my 365 project, I could bang them out while traveling in SE Asia or in the hills in my canyon.

One photograph lead to several more this week.

This is what fifty looks like. This is what I look at fifty.

Still so hard to comprehend, but I'm adjusting.

Wise Words

Fifty

I've dreaded this birthday, but the only alternative to stopping this day from happening was not such a great option.  The anticipation resulted in reflection, joy,  and sadness.  But now that the deed is done, it's time to embrace all that is, and all that will be.  During the reflection phase, I gathered these old photos from birthdays past.  I think about current life and how every moment, even the insignificant ones are documented.  I have many had many birthday parties and celebrations, and yet very few photos, even from recent years, exist.  Future generations will most likely never have this experience.
