There was a period of about 3 months between returning from our New Hampshire vacation until about two weeks ago where I felt that all of my attention was completely and fully committed, crowding out photography in particular. There was the start of the school year for the kids, the Jewish Holidays, work of course, but then there also, very importantly was the US election.
On long trips in the car for work (up and back to Philadelphia and New Jersey), I would flip the Sirius radio between CNN, Fox and toward the end Bloomberg and CNBC, for news. Listening to stump speeches. Analysis.
Then it was over and the mental space returned. More fitness work. Pulling out the camera. Music back on the radio.
