First Walk-A-Bout



I had another great weekend.  Saturday, was mostly for rest and cleaning.  Sunday, I hit up the Beach Blvd. flea market and had a Nikon F3 in my hand.  The Camera Man walked me through all its features.  I plan on going back next weekend and picking it up.  He was only asking $225 for it.  Later, that afternoon, I did my first of many Walk-A-Bouts.  The photos above are my favorites - I was looking for pinks but really only found reds.  On the way home I spotted what I think will be my next shot for Twelve.  Sadly, I was all out of film.

Me

On Pens – See through pens freak me out, and I prefer blue ink over black.
On Health – I lost 120 pounds over two years.  No Pills. No Diets.  As the weight came off I found that I was actually losing mental baggage.
On Faith - I believe that prayer is action.  That the sun is in the sky and that the sky is not falling.  My name is William Bernard Betzig and I am in control of my life.
On Fear – I have never found anything I can point to and say look this is fear.  It’s always in my mind.
On Shampoo – If I close my eyes and shampoo with Head & Shoulders I can remember my Grandfather’s house with perfect clarity.
On April 13th – I started taking pictures again on April 13, 2010.  I decided to take a picture every day at sunrise and during various moments.  It changed everything.
On Sleep – I sleep completely naked with very few exceptions.
On Love – I find it so easy to love everyone.  No exceptions.  i ii iii
On Automatic Happy – I get the best feeling in the world when friends say “Hello!” with a picture.  It is automatic no words are necessary.
On Life – Right now at this moment I have everything that I need and more than I deserve…’cause I have you in my life.  I love you more than yesterday but less than tomorrow.

January flew by super fast.  Where did all the time go?  Over the past month I started a few new projects.  The images above are for a project called Twelve hosted by Amanda.  Check out her blog mocking-bird.org I find it to be a true source of inspiration.  You can visit the group pool on flickr here.  Each month we will be shooting a new theme word and color - January's word was Wish and color theme was violet and white.  


I'm really enjoying this song today Shake Me Down - Cage The Elephant
