For those who haven't kept up over the last few years, I'm now a traveling medical technologist. A few years ago I decided I really didn't like being poor, so I dusted off that old college degree and found a wonderful lab that was willing to take on a rusty medical technologist. So, began my journey of being a traveling tech.
February of 2010 I went on an assignment to Elko, Nevada. While there I was able to do a few things. The most important thing was to spend time with Taylor and Summer. Taylor is part of the group I mentioned yesterday. It's always great seeing friends. That assignment was even better because I was working the day Summer gave birth to their second set of twins. Those were the big things that happened while in Elko. The little something I did for me was to buy a new camera. I attempted to take a few pictures as I held the camera out to snap shots as I zoomed 70 to 75 mph down the road. Not the best photography setups.
I took said camera with me to Wisconsin. While I was there I ate lots of cheese, brats and fudge and took a whopping total of zero pictures.
Next I headed to Phoenix with camera in tow. Awe, the lovely desert (yes, I'm serious the desert does have an appeal when it's not 115 degrees). All the photo ops...wasted. I think I took less than twenty pictures and they were all of people. People important to me, so they were not wasted pictures, but there was nothing of the stunning scenery.
There were a few pictures taken while I was in Colorado. Alas, I must confess, I didn't take them. My daughter did. Sigh.
My "have tech will travel" job has landed me in Minnesota with my poor underused camera. Tomorrow I have to work a couple hours to get my forty hour work week in. After I've met my company obligation, I'm going to take that poor camera out of its case and see what I can do to show the beauty of small town Minnesota.
One week is almost over. Only 12 weeks left to take advantage of the local photo ops. With any luck, tomorrow there will be a blog worthy photo to post.
Good morning, John. I hope that cup of coffee is hot.
I need to wear my camera like a necklace - I find something great to photograph and no camera .. silly me .
