Six Month Slump
Okay. As far as the Arboretum Project goes, I am still going out and faithfully taking pictures each and every Sunday. Including yesterday. You may have noticed, however, that as far as posting goes I'm roughly 3 weeks behind.
There are two reasons for this:
1) Panic. Dave installed Photoshop onto my computer (and understand right here and now that I had been a pain about this for weeeks) and I suddenly realized I was going to have to figure out how it worked and then started worrying about fucking up my pix (even though I always save the originals under a different filename from the edits) and then I began to feel like maybe I was just a little, tiny bit over my head, technologically speaking, andthenitgothardertobreatheandIover

But now that I have what I wanted, I feel guilty about going back to the old way of doing things, with subpar software. So I'm currently choosing to do nothing. At least as far as the photos go. I haven't even downloaded yesterday's from my camera yet. I should do that. Eventually.
2) Aw, hell. Now I can't even remember what the other thing was.
Anyway, as soon as I get the other stuff that I currently consider to be a higher priority finished, I'll post the -- OOOOH! I REMEMBER THE SECOND REASON!
2) I'm about halfway through the project. I have toiled this far and now it's become so much work to get to the top of the hill, that I'm not yet at the stage where I'm enjoying whooshing down the other side. I've lost the momentum. Plus, I've been busy.
In other words, it's all about the fear.
