With all the changes I've been making lately, I feel a need to decompress and digest the past few weeks events --- but that's hard to do when bookings are happening for Valentines Day shoots and the writing bug has bit me (hard) once again. Winter break wasn't much of a break considering all the things I had to do and all the parties I either attended or held.
Therefore, I'm considering a retreat - like I used to do before I started photography. I'd book a cabin for a weekend or maybe longer and take my home computer, reference books, notes, etc .... cook up a few things in the cockpot, grab Maddie and a DVD box set and take off. It was rejuvenating and much needed. Then when I got the studio I didn't have time or money to do that - plus I had the studio to myself from time to time and it felt like I was away anyways. But that ended in Oct of 2010 and the need for a retreat is once again within me.
I usually went in March or April. hmmm.... but if I plan it now, it'll give me something to look forward to! Maybe crack apart the winter blah's.
Wonder if that old cabin is still available. <smiling and pondering>
