This is harder than it looks, Part II

here, to the best of my recollection, is what should have appeared above...



"i thought this blogging stuff was going to be a snap...easy as pie. just type my thoughts and fire them off into the vast, overpopulated, hyper-chattering blogosphere, where they can wander, lost and lonely, for all eternity.


i am now on my fourth draft (make that the fifth) of my first blog. say what????


so, to put myself out of my misery, i think i'll just preview (this is where i went wrong) and then publish this post, hoping that it's like jumping off a high board...terrifying the first time you do it, but, once you hit the water, something you want to do over and over again until your lips turn blue.


before i take the plunge and push those dreaded computer keys (you can see above where that got me) let me just say that I LOVE PHOTOGRAPHY!!! i love how it takes me OUT OF MY MIND (hence the title of this blog). and i want to share my thoughts on all things photographic...and artistic...and poetic...and aesthetic...with myself (does that make sense?) and my friends and my followers (who, at this point in my blogging career, amount to me, myself and you know who).


so, here goes....this may be my first and last post. or, today a blogger may be born.


the suspense is killing me."



that, in a nutshell, is what should have appeared above...my first post, now relegated to my second. how apropos...confirming all my latent computer/blogging fears. maybe it's for the best. i have now successfully written my second post, thereby guaranteeing that i will not be a one hit wonder.

This is harder than it looks!
