I kind of always figured I would start a blog as some point. I have the perfect background for it. I'm a bit of a nerd, a heavy reader, have a couple of English degrees (don't let this fool you--I will still have frequent typos), and I teach. That being said, since completing my degree, I've been on a self-imposed English hiatus. For the past two years, I've barely read (and what I have read certainly wouldn't be on any college level reading list), and I don't write unless I absolutely have to.
What I have been doing is photography. I began playing around a couple of years ago, and I think I'm getting better. I have a long ways to go, but at least I'm having fun. One of the interesting challenges I face is that I only seem to enjoy photographing things that could potentially kill me. Even I find this strange since in most things, I'm a grade A chicken. But I love chasing around spiders, bees, and your standard creepy crawlies. I also photograph dirt track stock car races, fire fighters, lightening (this is a new one), underwater, and other things along those lines.
Most of those activities will probably show up here again. I like to talk about racing, both local short track and NASCAR. I come from a big fire fighting family. I also come from a long line of beekeepers. Occasionally, I will have something professionally to complain about (like my office mate who doesn't speak to me--not for any particular reason--she just never has), but I usually like to leave work at work.
Until then,
Amy L
