I Couldn't Sleep...


I Couldn't Sleep...
Originally uploaded by DrSilver

Of all the photos I took the last time I was in St. Louis, this is the one I really like. The funny thing - this was a random shot I took from inside my hotel room. I was having a hard time falling asleep so I started to chat with a friend on the phone. While sitting on the hotel room floor, leaning against the bed, I was inspired to take a picture of the view from my window.

This photo is actually unedited; the reflection is straight from camera. I needed a steady surface to get the long exposure so I used the glass tabletop sitting right there by the window and Voila!

So what's the deal? Well, I've been thinking about how my October has come and gone. It's been a fairly hellacious 30 days for me with leardership change and a big project launch happening all at the same time at work. I haven't really had a chance to stop and catch my breath.

Tonight, I just want to slow down and turn down the volume. This picture sums up what I want to see and feel. I'm sad that I didn't get to enjoy my favorite month because of all the distractions. But now, maybe I'll be able to give November a chance to vie for my affection.

I started my first blog on October 31, 2006 and I guess I'm still a bit sentimental about my blogging anniversary date. In any case, I wish all my friends a very Happy Halloween and my fiends a smashing time (you know who you are).

Love the photo but the post is a bit frantic. I want to take offense for being referred to as a fiend but not really sure I’m part of that reference (would like to think I am but don’t want to assume). If I didn’t see you yesterday I would be a bit worried. You sound a lot more scattered in this as you were in person. Should we be concerned?

Sorry. I should've put a disclaimer that this post was "undistilled". Next time, I'll have you approve beforehand. Satisfied?

Content but never satisfied. ;-)
