Have you ever noticed how many sayings there are using the word “shoulder”? Put your shoulder into it. Shoulder the burden. Giving the cold shoulder. Put your shoulder to the wheel. A chip on your shoulder.
There’s a reason why I’m talking about shoulders and I’ll get to it shortly. This photo seems appropriate. It’s one of the men’s suit coats hanging on a tree with no shoulder in it — I love taking the detail shots like this. Now on to my reason for all this talk about shoulders.
I’ve been dealing with a shoulder injury recently. It’s not so serious that I need surgery but it’s darn painful doing certain things. One thing that hurts like the dickens is using the keyboard and mouse on the computer. For that reason, I’m going to be really quite slow in my designing and editing work for the next while. It also means I will be spending far less time anywhere near the computer. I’ll continue to check emails each day and will return as many as possible but the more I’m away from the computer the less I will aggravate my shoulder. If you need to contact me, please send a note through the contact form or email me directly. Thank you for your understanding.

Photographs Never Forget!
I was on vacation in Victoria, BC when I took these photos. I was meandering, taking in the intriguing sites and architectural details. The window is a very old building at the harbour and obviously once opened up from an active place of commerce. It’s now more decorative than functional. Numerous buildings had beautifully detailed and crafted door handles. I thought this pair of bronze keys was particularly clever. Although the building, also located on the harbour, was likely a bank it now houses a tastefully appointed fish and seafood restaurant.
