As the title shows, I was sleeping on the floor for a number of months. Now, before you think a sympathetic thought, it was by choice, mostly. When I had left The States I had sold most of my goods, believing that I would be gone longer than a year, which we all know did not happen. Since then it has been a long process of getting back on my feet and charting out my next expedition.
I picked up a film camera (Canon EOS 3), and paired it up with a 50mm prime lens. This being the most economical solution to getting a camera back in my hands. It's been a wonderful experience. The hope was to buy another digital camera, but the equipment that I look towards is still more than I have. This made me restless at first, but I have come to peace with still working with my film camera, and will probably put my money towards my lens, so that my transition back to digital will be easier.
My hopes for the future are to begin working in a dark room, and potentially buy the equipment for one; to start going to the Y on a regular basis; and to start with Big Brothers, Big Sisters. We'll see how those turn out.
