the way to cheer up

This is how I feel when the weather is cold and rainy. I have to heat up my neck and hands several times a day…and it aches, and aches, and doesn’t let me go.

Then I look at some silly pictures of us laughing and I feel much better. I am planning to print the best and the funniest pictures of me(us) and put them around the house for the cold days of winter.

devided

A new competition year has started and I was planning to start entertaining my club colleagues again by creating something different…but I’m not well enough to handle my camera equipment. I have to heal first, and hope that my muse will come and support me when I’m ready. Patience is the hardest virtue…

new camera

A few weeks ago, I bought this lovely little camera that is even lighter than my cellphone. It helps me to survive during my cravings for a real photography. Maybe another year (or two?) of PT and I will be able to lift my 20D again.

disarmed

I feel like that pretty often…

and i am complaining about my hands?!

cranky

I don’t remember being bored for at least 15 years. Now, after 15 months of struggling with TOS and not making as much progress as I hoped for, I start getting grumpy. I can’t get back to my love affair with photography and photoshop, so I keep trying to entertain myself with silly cellphone pictures and 5 min amateur PS.

looking for my inner-self

Felling slightly disconnected, I am paving my way back to myself. It’s not easy, but the journey itself makes me happy. Life likes to make fun of us, challenging our ambitions and beliefs. I am working with two physical therapists whose method I questioned a year ago as non-scientific, and now I feel that this is exactly the type of treatment I needed. Body-mind connection seems to be the most logical healing for overworked and overstressed person like me.

Went to Johns Hopkins to follow up on my TOS. Took a few phone snapshots on the way to keep my mind off from possible surgery…
