It was an awesome trip to NOLA! I love collecting experiences and pictures.
I’ve returned to what passes for ‘normal’ in my life. I’ll be going back to my job today. Classes begin next week. I’m not sure which day they begin. I better check. I checked: August 19th.
In the coming days I’ll post some more photos from the NOLA adventure. I downloaded several hundred to the computer when I got home yesterday. I’ve been through them once and deleted the obvious screw ups. A couple of more review, delete cycles and then I’ll be ready to start posting a few.
There are a couple of things other than work on today’s agenda: photo shoot, pick up the mail at the post office, pick up a few groceries, and check out a problem at the rental house. I don’t know if I’ll do all these. I’ll do what I can.
See what else I’m doing.

I’m working on the pics. Today was pretty good at work. Tomorrow is fall seminar. We all get together and listen to administrators tell us stuff. rofl On the brighter side there is a free breakfast and lunch.
Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment.

Ha! After I get back from a trip/vacation, I always need a few days of vacation to recover from the vacation! 😉 😀
Back to the classroom! YAY! Hope your new semester is a GREAT one! 🙂
I look forward to seeing more photos of your trip! 🙂
Welcome Home HUGS!!!

hugs back at you. 🙂
It should be a great semester. I think it is my last one. I’m planning on leaving in the middle of January. Scary and exciting at the same time.
I’m working on the photos. I should have some by Sunday.

Returning to the real world stinks. I enjoyed the pictures of your trip.

I’m so glad you enjoyed the pictures. Thank you for stopping by and commenting. 🙂

Sounds like a wonderful time and love the images we carry in our heart also.

I had a brain fart and was still mentally responding to someone elses blog. geez comes with age.
Back to work for always an adjustment after a vacation. I always needed a vacation form my vacation.
Aug 15, 2013 @ 19:30:10
No worries. I’ve done the same thing myself.
I usually need a few days after vacation to recover. Oddly this time was different. I felt refreshed and ready to go at it. Crazy….I know. lol

As much as I love travel, I have almost a love/hate relationship with the photo issue at the end.
Love going through the photos/hate having that burden hanging over my head if it’s a busy few days post-vacation/love reliving the moments/hate having to choose which ones best represent my experiences/love getting feedback from family and friends on those I post/hate looking at one and thinking “why the heck did I post that one?”
(Love the ones you chose to represent Red Dress Run day – and look forward to your others as they appear!)

I know what you mean. It can be overwhelming.
Over the years I’ve gotten pretty picky about what I shoot and what I keep. I take fewer pictures than I used to take and I usually make 3 runs through the pictures from a trip or photo walk just deleting similar pictures and pictures I see anything wrong with (focus, lighting, depth of field, bad background, poorly composed, and just plain bad ones). That still leaves a lot of pictures.
Picking what to post is also challenging for me. I’d like the whole blog to tell a consistent story. I don’t always hit that mark.
I don’t take as many pictures when Jesse is along because I help Christy with him when Jeremy doesn’t come on one of our trips. She is a photographer and videographer. So we switch up with him so she can take pictures too.
I’m glad you enjoyed seeing these. 🙂 Have a wonderful weekend.

I enjoyed reading your process of “choosing” – and how your approach to your photographic chronicling of your journeys has changed.
And also – not taking as many photos when Jesse is along? Perfect! That means you’re spending time with him, instead of trying to compose “the perfect shot.” (Personal opinion only, of course.)
I’ve created a blogroll of “a few of my favorite expat/travel blogs” and included you. Your photos and responsiveness to comments speak to me, and I’d like others to find you too!

My process is the result of necessity. I was (and am) storing redundant backups of a lot of images. I had to do something to reduce the volume.
I really enjoy the time with Jesse. I refer to him as my imagination mentor and ‘live in the moment’ guru. When we are out on adventure I love to let him lead. He sees things I over look. I also enjoy the time he and I spend together in imaginative play. shhhh! Don’t tell anyone. His secret hero name is bulldozer guy and mine is garbage truck guy. Christy is super girl.
If people go to the trouble to leave a comment the least I can do is respond. 🙂 Besides, I love the interaction. I learn a lot from you and the others I talk to through comments. I’ve made some good online friends over the years. I’ve know some of them for 10 years.
Thank you so much for including my blog in your blog roll. Awesome!

Thank you. It’s good to back. I’m going to enjoy this semester.
Classes start on Monday. I enjoy being in the classroom.
The trip rocked!
