Ulog 42: Freewrite Day 503 Snap Shot

A snap shot is a rookie move. I found that out when I was trying to be a stock photographer back when I first plunged into the social media world. If you post a photo into a photographers group for criticism, the worst thing they can say is “That looks like a snapshot.”

I spent about a year on serious photography before giving up. It is not really my thing. I like taking photos, and do it a lot, but it is not “art.” My work is documentarian and for the memories. I had a "good" camera for a while, but my arthritic hands are too weak to to use it or hold it.

Now I do not have any of the many thousands of photos I took in my past life. I have nothing of my parents or my son when young. All of that was left behind when I left the us. @bxlphabet has some of it but cannot bring himself to look at it. So I think it is really lost for good.

I did not have a camera at all when my son was first born. I had a lot of regrets about not documenting much of his first months. Then when I did get a camera, it was really bad and I had only blurry unfocused shots for the next year after that.

Now I have none of those photos at all. Which is worse? Which is better?

I see @mariannewest is feeling under the weather now, but I’m glad she got back home. She thinks it is Day 502 for freewrite, but it is Day 503, my friend.

I’m fairly sick myself right now and sleeping six hours for every two I am awake. Hopefully this passes soon for both of us and we get back to business.

My post is for the #freewrite daily challenge by @mariannewest. Freewrite is a great way to post on steemit when you do not think you have the time, or talent, or anything to say. It’s a great way to start regular posting on steemit. I know you can do this too! Here is Marianne’s freewrite prompt post for today. Give it a try and surprise yourself.

I'm also posting to the ulogs untalented tag by my friend Terry @surpassinggoogle. This is 100% perfect for me today.
