[Leica] Pond Ice

[leica_r8 at hotmail.com (Aram Langhans)]

Retirement was a big adjustment for me.? I missed the kids and school 
but not the politics.? The first fall I was depressed as I saw those 
yellow buses taking kids to school.? However, after 17 years of 
retirement I have come to terms with it.? Well, maybe, as I still teach 
in the summer with no pressure and no politics, just fun.

You, being a photographer, might not find it much different than working 
as you can still take just as many photos of the things you like. There 
are always people there to photograph and "Film" is free for the most 
part.? I like how photography went from a hobby for me to now my "job" 
that I don't have to do for a living, but it was different than teaching 
so it took time to adjust.

So I think it is a wise choice and hope you will still post images for 
me to live vicariously through.
