Another progress page.
I really feel obligated to prioritize a commission I’ve been taking too long on before I do more of anything else at the moment.
I will be doing a 2025 calendar. It will be a collection of my favorite photography throughout the years! I need to take some time and finish assembling it in the coming week.
You might be wondering, Laura, what is the IRL chaos that happened this week? And it is that on Monday I got to be an audible witness to my uncle’s finger getting caught in the firewood splitting machine. I heard the machine going for a while, then a yell and the machine getting shut down. It was not a question of what transpired, but rather how much got chopped. He was taken to the ER and they did an X-ray, wrapped his finger and sent him home. The medical people all said it was fine to wait for a surgeon to look at it, while all the family thought surgery should have happened the day of the incident. His kids were constantly making phone calls trying to get the process sped up, contacting anyone that could help.
He finally saw a surgeon on Thursday, who looked at the finger, said it was too late to save it, and that it would have to be amputated. So that is what’s happening right now, uncle just headed to surgery.
I have been having the worst insomnia of my life. Usually it takes me 2 hours to fall asleep, that is the norm for me, but this week it’s been more like 9 hours to fall asleep and then 3 hours of sleep. It makes it very difficult to get things done.
