RRC: Broken
Suggested by Julie, author of the blog, "Julie Barrett's Journal."
I bet your are wondering what a quote about cat whiskers, has to do with our current RR topic of "Broken." Simple. Here's what happened. In the autumn of 2008 I became a mommy to two little lost souls. 2 kittens. A black cat we named Hendrix, and an orange tabby we named Dylan. They were beautiful new friends, and wonderful kittens, and there was a lot of love to be found in our house. It was BLISS! One thing about kittens, like human toddlers, they have energy, lots and lots of ENERGY! So much so that they could be most accurately described as FLYING MONKEYS! It was during one of their flights, and I swear there were capes involved, that Dylan and Hendrix flew across my desk, knocking my digital camera to the floor! It landed HARD! So hard in fact that it broke the little door that holds the batteries that power my life support system, AKA my camera. I cried. I cried some more, then I CRIED.
Truly, since Christmas Day, 2004, I have used my camera every single day. Photography is a big part of who I am. I live for it. I think I actually see the world in short little camera stills, rather then the way most people do, as one long movie scene. I take my camera with me everywhere I go, because I find inspiration in all aspects of life. I really learn from those tiny still moments. Sometimes it's moments in other peoples lives, and sometimes the moments are in mine, and sometimes the two come together in amazingly lovely and profound ways. So, what could I do with my broken camera? Go out and buy a new one? That wasn't possible, see my money tree hasn't bared fruit since it was damaged by the GOVERNATOR FRUIT FLY. Also known as California State Worker Forced Furloughs. LOL. Whats a girl to do? The only thing she can, she invests in a package of strong, extra thick rubber bands, and secures her trusty camera the best she can! Here are just a few photos I am especially proud of, taken with my broken camera...
