Addiction

I originally started this blog as a way to try to write down the goings-on in our life but I feel compelled today to write about a problem that I have.
I really feel pretty hypocritical because for a while there I was getting after Rob for being so seemingly obsessed with cars and trucks. Now that I've finally found something to focus some of my energy on I really feel bad for trying to steer him away from getting that part for the car or this part for the truck.
I guess I'll just come out with it... My name is Chantal and I am addicted to photography. There, it's out. In writing.
Ever since I brought my great gradnfather's old film camera out of hiding it's all I can really do to keep myself from getting more! I bought a big book on the basics of photography, I downloaded the manual to the 1970 camera, I bought another film camera for real cheap on eBay, and a very nice digital camera on craigslist. I spend 90% of my time at work ( you read that right, 90%)looking at other photographers photos, reading tips and techniques, looking up different accessories and lenses, and looking at different places around town to take pictures. Even when I get off work it is hard for me to do anything else. I usually have my camera with me or I'm on my laptop or the mac and I'm trying to organize or edit the pictures I've taken. It really seems at this point I can't get enough.
So Robbie, this is to you... I am sorry. Buy your truck parts, fix your car... I'm going to take pictures of it all!! Hahaha.

That's my confession. Hopefully I can use my addiction for good!
