I did two things I haven't done in awhile this morning: I got a mini breakfast in a McDonald's Drive Thru (the coffee wasn't that bad), and I walked around the Mall with the Old People {I was the fastest one :)} I prefer walking outside, but there's still some ice etc to deal with, and they open up the Malls early for "walkers". It's been several years since I did the Mall thing, and I even liked the Muzak, sort of... I didn't take any photos like I did many years ago. I liked shooting photos of the mannequins, and the window reflections... I had a young security guard pull up to me when I was walking in the parking lot once back then and tell me "you can't do that." I was taking a picture of a puddle, with a cool reflection of a street lamp. "I can't?" Being the son of my mother, a Champion Worrier and a you-follow-the-rules kind of person, I stopped taking my camera. Maybe the times have changed, with the proliferation of cell phone cameras?
I tried to find some of my Mall photos in my old blogs just now. Looking through these old blogs is sort of like reading a diary. My first post was back in 2008. I was using a small digital Panasonic then.
I have better equipment now, and a better "eye" I think.
27Jun2025 - This is turning into a journal/journey-down-memory-lane thing. I'm looking through my old photo albums, and at the same time, other memories and thoughts are popping up in my mind. This is what old(er) people do, yes? 9May2025 - I decided to leave FB, and just share my photos etc here. Thank you to the special people who check in here...(7Dec2022 - crlazlo meanderings 2 is now 2.1 - I will continue to use it as a preview/workspace for my FB posts, but I will also start organizing the many photos from my retirement years, and also start a journal/memories thing. That's the plan anyway.)
