I'm a little disappointed in my visit. I've been here for ten days and for a trip that I planed to get some work done, I have little to show. I have a total of three finalized pictures and unless I go anywhere tonight, those three are going to be all this time around. The lack of photos this trip is mostly to blame on that fact that new locations were not visited. I'm getting tired of the old site of Peaked Mt. and the Orchards. I even made a second trip to the orchards but came back without a single shot! Photographing in Rhode Island was fun. Some night time photography on the beach is something I've been wanting to do for years, but I did not stay long enough. As previously mentioned, I would like to go on my own sometime as not to be rushed. Minnechaug Mt. was to be a new site to visit today but there was car trouble and instead I sat here at the house packing to leave tomorrow.
So now I'm here typing this, wishing there was more time. I wanted to work more on my new novel which I've been struggling with lately. I might have written a paragraph during these past ten days... I wanted to work on new jewelry designs and improve on the website, but some other distraction arose. I spent a good deal of time with friends and I am grateful for that time, but I spent no where near the amount of time with friends this visit as I have in past. I'm just trying to remember where the time went.
It's always difficult to leave. I almost fear going back to the old routine. There is a more permanent solution that I have been considering. All I would like to say right now is that November marks the one year anniversary of the shop's opening, and I only have a two year lease.
