Getting back into the swing of things...

General
The last few months have been a rough ride, as my last few Journals have indicated. Not going to repeat anything on this one.
My inactivity on FA and just posting Photos in General (except for the work I volunteer to do, such as Staff photography at conventions) is in large part because of that. I've still been getting out and shooting here and there, but I haven't really posted anything of my Fun photography outside of maybe a very occasional pic on Twitter.
I plan to take a lot of time to focus back on myself, which includes my photography and being more active in posting it. I also plan to work on getting healthy, The first step in that is taking care of my teeth and getting some dental work done, as well as getting a Physical and a regular Doctor.
I also need to cut down on Soda, which also goes hand in hand with taking care of my teeth. If I don't want to have teeth pulled after all the time spent plugging cavities over the next few months; I need to watch my sugars.
In addition plan on trying to be more active now that Spring is here, going on more walks and hikes. I went on a long photo hike tonight at a nature preserve and it felt really good.
I'm re-tooling and refining my Photography. This year will be the end in a series of selling and purchasing camera equipment. I'm learning to embrace the equipment that feels right to me while letting go of equipment I don't use so it can be home to someone else who will get better use out of it then me.
If there is anything I've learned about Photography and Video over the past two years is: Use the Equipment YOU are comfortable with that get the results YOU like. Don't go off of what others say as "this is the only way to go" because it isn't. Every camera is different, and this goes for both Photography AND Video. A camera one Photographer or Videographer may adore and get amazing results with, may frustrate another photographer/videographer to no end. Basically, there is no one "Perfect Setup" that is perfect for everyone, regardless of what some people may claim.
I'm also looking into ways to perhaps even tip toe back into Video work without plunging into the deep-end and becoming frustrated again. I'm also putting some Drama behind me as a result. I've ran into Photographers I can't work with, so why should I be forced out of doing Video work because I met a few Videographers that rubbed me the wrong way?
But just in general, I'm making an effort to be more active and more positive again; it's not something that happens overnight, considering how up and down the last few months and even the last two years has been for me. I know there will be more bumps on the road ahead... but I need to focus on keeping myself in the light.
