South Texas Shooters (Photography That Is!)

We are into 2010 plus a day as I type here. I hope that the passing of 2009 and the beginning of 2010 were good for you with lots of friends, family and the folks you care for. I wish I could say the same for me, the passing of 2009 and the entry of 2010 were spent on the job, not the place I wanted to be at. But my distorted sense of “doing the right thing” got in the way. Sometimes I think I am from a time long ago passed, where people do the right thing, even when it hurts. Today I see and sense people who are just out for themselves, no thought of doing for others, and some of those that call themselves doing for others are in for themselves and just put on the mask. They talk a lot of talk, but do not walk the walk!

Before 2009 ran out I had on of the men that I work with tell me al kind of hype about being safety minded and doing the right thing, my closing comments to him were, “talk is cheap, actions speak louder than words!” I will be surprised and pleased if those words make a diffrence with this man, but I still hope so! Each day I see and hear a lot of retoric from folks, lots of empty words, am really tired of it and hope to stay clear of these types of folks in 2010. I hope I can fulfill this promise to me this year.

Not much photography this year (only 2 days into it). Another promise to me, is to get out and do the phtography that I want, I would like to have someone share those moments along side of me, but I find no one who is ready to meet with me on it

I hope to grace these pages with more images and less talk this year, less feeling sorry for me and more sharing life thru the lens with you. Please let me know if I stray from this path (I MEAN THIS, TELL ME, Please)!!

I have started out 2010 with a cold combined with the dreaded Mountain Ceder Allergy, doubleheader! With a little bit of luck it will pass quickly and then I can breath normarlly again.

I hope and pray that 2010 will be a better year for you and me, that this year will find more joy, peace and love for us! That our health phyiscal and mind wise be stronger. That any hardships that cross our paths be dealt with quickly, gracefully and fairly. That our lives be richer this year than in all the years past and that our hearts be open and joyful!

I share with you some of my photographs as is my way, hope they make you smile or that they let you see into my life from a distance. Until the next time, stay warm, stay safe and stay loved!

Love from me to YOU!
Pete
