Life so far...

We've been so busy just doing things and going places there hasn't been much said about how our lives are going.

I've started helping at the Photo Club at Richard's school with our favorite immersion school Librarian. Every Thursday I get to help wrangle a bunch of high school kids while simultaneously trying to teach them how to take a good photograph - so far it has been really fun, but I'm not sure how its going to get once it gets really cold and we can't take them on as many "photo walks." I guess that will be part of the challenge.

I'm still trying to find a full time job, but since I've been playing around with both my etsy shop and my photography I've grown a bit more picky about the jobs that I'm going out for. Currently I'm only looking for nanny jobs because I want something that I really do love (since it isn't about the paycheck) and something that has close the the same schedule as Richard so I can have the same weekends and holidays. I'm also contemplating going back to college either to pursue photography further or in order to teach English at the high school level. We'll see which way I go.

We're making a trip out to see one set of Richard's grandparents (he has three!) during Thanksgiving and he and his grandpa will be out deer hunting so for grandma and me it should be plenty of relaxing time.

In rather unrelated news I took some film into the new "Super" Target that opened near us to be developed only to learn that they no longer develop in house. They send it out. And it takes up to SIX DAYS. It's not so much the time that is involved.... okay, it's the time that's involved, because really, I love Fuji labs and all but if my film is going to be sent out and I can't get it within 24 hours I would much rather take my film to a local camera shop. I really can't believe that we're going back to sending out film when there is the instantaneous delight of digital cameras, I guess it's one more nail in the coffin of film but I won't be stopping anytime soon.

One of the only reasons I always went to the Target Photo Labs is because I worked there. I know the workers are trained to be more competent than most drug store photo labs and the price is right. Who wants to recommend a good in house film developer in Milwaukee?
