I recently did a photoshoot of these adorable 3 year old identical twins for a friend (they're her boys). They're soooooo freakin' cute. It was a little tricky catching them both in the same photo, but heaps of fun all the same. Anyway after this I've decided that I might try and do more family/kiddy photo's. More light hearted and spontaneous than weddings.(p.s. I've used this somewhat ambiguous photo here to protect their cute little privacy from the big wide web).
This weekend I also finished a 2 part picture framing workshop, and now have a nice new framed painting on my wall. So now I'm all kitted out and skilled up to make my own frames, or frame Mr You's life drawings like I said I would.
I'm rambling, it's because I'm distracted. I think I've decided once again that I should leave my job (shhhh! no one, except Mr You, knows anything about this yet, so don't say anything). I've been there 8 years. Can you believe it?! I can't. I'm depressed that all that time has gone by without me having explored anything else. So that's what I'm thinking about. But I don't have an "if I leave this job what am I going to do" plan. I don't want one. And I'm trying to stick to that, against my better judgement, and every fibre of my far-too-sensible-being. I want to stop planning for a bit and just allow some space to let something happen. But that is so unlike me. It hurts and I'm scared. Petrified!
So why am I doing it? Because I'm at the stage where if I don't do something I'm going to start crying and never ever stop.
I don't hate my job, I'm just in what they call a BIG old rut. I need to do something brave to get out.
I haven't done anything yet, I may still chicken out and change my mind. But I can't, I need to do something...
I'm rambling, it's because I'm distracted...

Halloooo! I've been lurking since finding you through IlloFriday a while ago.
I recently left my job of 5 years, where I was stable, very well paid, loved the people, enjoyed the work and had amazing benefits to do illustraton as a career. (I'm pretty rusty overall but have a knack for bugs.) It's been pretty terrifying but every part of me felt like I HAD to do it and (so far?) I don't regret it.
Overall, I think you need to listen to your gut, even when it squelches.
:^)
NIce photo - really picks up the energy of two boys playing privately and yet together. Were they the inspiration for your IF "match"?
