STEALING TIME
I was not planning on doing a blog post today. I dressed quickly, with the only thing in mind being warmth and ease because nothing overly wonderful was planned.
When my husband walked in the door, he was excited to do a blog post in what he thought was a fabulous outfit! (it’s all old stuff, girl!)
We had carved out four hours to spend together, running errands, walking dogs, and lunch.
While we were walking the dogs it was like a time warp. Time is so hard to find but it is the most important thing any of us have.
In a remote area of the park, with only a few randoms walking around, it was like stealing time and pretending that there were not a zillion other constructive things to be doing.
My camera broke this month (yes, the NEW one I just purchased two months ago) so I upgraded to the Canon Rebel T3i and this was our first chance to use it. Wow, there are a lot of features.
We joke that he is Francesco Scavullo , who I actually got to meet once, and had my photo done at his New York studio, but actually with this camera, one day, even Jazzy will probably become a professional photographer!
SIDEBAR: For those of you who do not know of Francesco Scavullo…he only lived the life of the top U.S. photographer for years, getting to shoot absolutely everyone from Elizabeth Taylor to Madonna and was responsible for multitudes of magazine covers such as Cosmopolitan. His work was before the days of airbrushing and the chopping off of half a model’s thigh in order to make the bathing suit she’s wearing look better. We have now perversed photography and brought it to new, unattainable levels of cartoondom.
I had the pleasure of meeting my favorite photographer in New York, and was part of a photo shoot with a 5 am call, top makeup artists and tons of photography interns running around setting up the shots. Seeing the living room decorated with his favorite shots of people like Madonna and Brooke Sheilds was amazing and impacted me forever.
