On Friday night we have a charity event to go to. Sounds like we are fancy. We are not. However my wife does look pretty good when she makes an effort, which generally only happens when other people are going to see her. I don't count.
She went to the hairdresser today and that is another thing that I ma not going to calculate into Steem and I didn't ask the price, just to make sure. She doesn't go very often so I can't complain too much but, I also cut my own hair because I am not going to pay for something I can do myself poorly, but well enough.
She found something she wanted to wear too which was reasonably priced considering except, it has to have the pant legs taken up as she is short. I am short and I can even say that. Her mother will do the alterations tomorrow morning so it is ready for Friday. It is dark blue but I liked the look of the images in black and white.
We also have her nephew's graduation party on Saturday (different dress) so it is going to be quite a full weekend as we have to help set up on Friday afternoon, go to the charity thing in the evening and then I will be taking some photos at the graduation on the Saturday. Thankfully, someone else volunteered to do the people pictures because while I would have done it, I am glad I don't gave to considering my energy levels after treatment.
I like taking photos of my wife and daughter as not only do I get to practice, I also am able to get pictures of people for my posts. I like being able to use people photos but since I only use my own images, the selection is very limited, but I still prefer to use them even if they aren't perfect for a post or as "engaging" as if I found one online better suited.
The reason I like to use my own images is that it makes a post more mine as it requires me to use more skills than just writing. I find I take more images to as I am always looking for new material and in so doing, it creates a feed of inspiration as I get new ideas for posts from the images I take. Because I write mainly from my own experience and observations, I find that my images become a catalyst for thought and memory of things that might have slipped through the cracks once upon a time. If you are ever stuck for content, try using images to light your creativity, even if you don't use them in your posts.
Well, this was meant to be just a set of photos yet I always feel like I should add some words, and I tend to let writing get away from me and end up with more than people want to read. I think these words might be read as they appear between pictures of my beautiful wife - which reminds me of another post I want to write, but that can wait until tomorrow.
