• Staying Busy

  Sorry I've been MIA on Xanga lately. On top of my regular routine of water aerobics, tai chi, volunteer work, and barbershop chorus rehearsal, I've been busy researching prices and photographing stuff to sell on eBay.  It's not particularly hard work, but it's very time consuming. I start taking photos at 10 or 11 in the morning, and next thing I know it's 4 PM and I've let another day slip away without getting the ironing done, or the shopping list made, or walking the dog, or blogging. It's interesting that the things that were easiest and most fun to look up for pricing were usually the most tedious to photograph. There were a few exceptions, including what may be my favorite of the 500 or so photos I've taken in the past three days.

  

  And for the most part, the items that were hard or impossible to find online were pretty easy to photograph. Like this old brass music box (that plays Edelweiss in case anyone is interested).

  

  I think I'm done with this round of photography. We'll be bringing my old toys down soon and I'll be up to my eyeballs in Barbie stuff. I have a feeling it will be more tedious than the Batman and Star Trek photography.
