Day Trip Thoughts

I've read through yesterdays blog entry and realized that I need to take wider angle shots that show the full area, and then take more close up shots of what I am focusing on. It was a long time coming, to get up and leave my apartment for this past day trip. I have been wanting to do these day trips for a long time. My last day trip was to Brattleboror, VT in October 2008. I went there to photograph a few houses my younger brother and his wife were interested in buying in the event they ended up purchases a very well known and poplular restaurant which was for sale in Brattleboro. Needless to say the deal fell through and my brother and his wife are still in Key West, FL.

On a personal note. I suffer from social anxiety and depression, so it makes it difficult for me to go out and do things by myself. I love to go for long walks in the fall and winter. The summer here is just too hot and humid to do that comfortably. I'm hoping these weekly day trips will help me overcome my fear of being out in public.

My next day trip, this coming Saturday, depending on the weather is either to do the complete outer loop of Cape Anne, with stops in Rockport and Gloucester or to drive up to Ogunquit, ME and take the back roads back down to Portsmouth, NH and then home. I love the coast line. I feel so comfortable when I can see the ocean, or a bay, or inlet or cove. When I see a body of water on my GPS I head straight for it.

Thank you for listening.
