Even though I just got a great job, although it requires a lot of studying, I am still nagged by my my love of photography.  Every spare minute when I am not thinking about any aspect of health or life insurence for my exam Wednesday I am running around with my camera in hand.
    I prefer the old fashioned film camera for my good pictures.  And those that I think people would think I photoshopped if they didn't come from CVS one hour photo.  Which are usually my good pictures.  What I love about photography is that it is a picture that can say something.
    Most of the time I like to pick things that most people think are ugly or bad, like bugs.  People don't seem to see the beauty in a snail, or a spider, although they are willing to see it in a butterfly.
    None of which will intentionally hurt anyone.  No, even the spiders won't.  Actually I like them, or love them I suppose.  They are so small, and symertical, and their coloring can be amazing for the tiny little bodies.  Most orb weavers that I have met have striped legs.  Of course you have to get pretty close to see that.
    I have.  I also think the mandibles they have are delicate looking for tearing appart their meals.  Most I know will eat them as soon as they catch them.  Since there is little chance of needing to save for later where I live.  There is always a fresh supply of biting night insects that get stuck in their webs.
    I can usually even tell a male from a female.  Females tend to be rounder in the body.  I don't like jumpers though.  They still make me uncomfortable to a certain degree.  Trappers are alright, wolf spiders, uh, I can deal.  Also not my  favorites, but alas I can't discriminate too much. 
    So if there is ever a market for spider photos, odds are I will have myself another part time job.
