Angie's post for today is short and poignant. You can read it at http://soangiewrites.com/2014/04/29/i-write/. It's worth reading.

Angie writes when she's up; she writes when she's down. Why does she write? Because writing is what she does. You might as well ask why I take photographs. It's what I do. It's how I see; it's how I think; it's how I make sense of things.

And I write. I write for the same reason I haul my old cameras around and take pictures. It's what I do.

Writing did rather catch me off guard. But so did photography. I had to start thinking of myself as an artist, which was a stretch after all those decades of seeing myself as a techie. But that, I was discovering, was who I was.

But a writer?

I realized I had turned a turned the corner when I changed the introduction on my blog. It used to say, "Images of light and life." Now it says, "Reflections on light and life in word and photograph." I haven't changed the second sentence. Yet.
