Lost in Transition
You may have heard I’m in the process of seeking new hosting for this website. I’ve capped out my limit for uploading images (Forty gigs is the limit, dude.) and I’ve come to a cross roads. Like everyone who’s been taking up space on the internet for a really long time, I’ve lost my first (and second and maybe third) love for it. Of course I wonder if it’s time to pull the plug? Do I even have anything to say anymore? Do I have time to say it? It seems like a silly hobby these days, especially if it costs hundreds of dollars to keep it going.
A lot of friends have reached out to tell me not to give it up. (I have a huge archive that apparently is like google currency.) So I’m probably not going to just shut it down but I’m trying to find away to keep it going affordably. Or maybe I will pay for a dedicated server. Maybe it’s like a yoga studio membership and if I fork out the bucks for it I’ll take it more seriously and actually show up regularly and maybe it will pay for itself like it used to back in the day. I don’t know.
I’m thinking a lot about my message here. Why am I here still? What do I still have to say? I do love writing still and maybe focusing more on writing and less on images might get me here more regularly. I don’t know. You know how I love images…Maybe I can go back to hosting my pictures on flickr. (Stupid flickr. Why do they have to make it so difficult these days?)
Anyway, if you know of a good hosting site leave your two cents. I’ve got a list and I’m doing my research. I’ll keep you posted on the big jump.

I found my underwater camera!
I bet you didn’t even know it was lost. It wasn’t really lost. I placed it somewhere really obscure and then forgot about it because the battery finally died, like years ago, and I never got around to buying a new one. So guess what?!! I ordered a new battery online and bam! My old camera works again! Just in time for summer!
It’s so old school not be able to beam photos right to the internet the second you take them. But I do not have a waterproof phone (yet) so this is the next best thing. I do love this camera even though it takes me a day or two to download the photos and share them here. It’s kinda fun to have zillions to pick from when I finally do go through them. There’s a lot of squishy odd pictures. I love the way the waterline dissects and reflects.
I have a lot of pictures like this where I fail to get my whole head under water because I refuse to blow the the air out of my mouth and lungs. It’s kind of a long story but I had so many ear infections as a child and so many doctor’s orders to stay out of the water that I never really learned to swim under water. So still to this day I am adverse to it. I can swim on the surface no problem though.
On days like these long hot summer days, the water has been amaaaaaaazing! It’s been like swimming in jello, the water is so warm.
I’m cooking up another water-craft so I’m thinking this waterproof camera is going to come in handy! Stay tuned!
