Christmas in July

I am pretty damn excited, like Christmas in July excited.  Why? Well in accordance with my decision to "...to thine own self be true" I have made some pretty radical decisions as to what I am going to be when I grow up.  Over the years I have been like a kid in a candy store with all the technological advances that have come along, jumping from 2D to 3D to mobile app and so on.  In the end though none of them caught my interest, nor earned my love as the simple act of shoot photos and video. The trouble has been that over the years my income never kept up with my desire to persue this trade, hanging onto film for longer than I should.  Keeping small sensor video cameras longer because, well the kid needed shoes and such.

Tomorrow "the kid" heads out on a road trip for 3 weeks, in August he disappears for a couple of months for his first semester at Digipen. I have a choice of either surrendering to "empty Nest Syndrome" or starting the next phase of my own life.

I choose the latter.  Tomorrow my new GH4 is suppose to arrive, along with various and sundry other components.  The passat is loaded and it is time to try out my idea of being a "Mobile studio".  I wish the Westy was in better shape but such is life.
