Howdy! Finally over my jet lag and a bit of post-partum melancholy... I will develop the film from my trip soon... I have a habit of taking rolls and rolls of film and setting them aside for sometimes up to a few months... I hope to break that habit with these new pictures. Now, if I'd only lay down about 150.00 for a digital camera, I wouldn't need to deal with this quirk of mine; I'm just a freak for my super clean, mint condition Minolta Maxxum 7000 (circa 1987) - - a REAL camera... ! Anyway, blah blah blah. Thank you all for your interest and your words; I suppose I'm not the best friend on Tribe when it comes to staying in daily contact... I just allow the challenges of life sink in a little too deep for my own good, and I can be just an eeensy-teeensy-weeensy bit self-involved, if you know what I mean... anyway, thanks again! Oh, and while on my trip, I visited the local satanic Wal Mart and had some pictures developed and put on disc from last Dec., right before my daughter left for the east, taken at the Los Angeles Arboretum (along with a roll or two I'd taken some months earlier in the desert - - told you I was bad at developing pictures), some of which I'll put in my Tribe photo album... I don't believe any shots of me made it into these rolls - - all the better for any unsuspecting viewers, as a glance at my likeness just may lead to blindness... buh-bye!

Sincerely,
Atomic!
