a full circle?

It has been about six months or so since I started shooting with the little digital camera and today I “clocked it out.” (Is this the right expression?) I “maxed out the mileage,” the counter went back to zero. Did the Canon people really think one will shoot less than ten thousand pictures in the lifetime of the S50?…
I am now using the find and replace function of iView to fix the names of my files, just to make sure they are all somehow unique… (I keep the numbers of the files in all of the pictures I post here.)
It also feels as if now would be the right time to just close a circle. Something strange seems to be going on for a few weeks now, some very odd energy unbalance. I really do not know what it is. I hope all of the friends are okay. Something is going on. I do not know what it is.
Maybe it is just the entry into a new chapter. Some sort of chapter, something. It really feels as if my personal universe had been shrinking in all of its dimensions, it is now probably so tiny that I could just extend my arms and reach beyond. A bit like a New York apartment with collapsing walls and ceiling. It is an Alice in Wonderland moment… or the more and more shallow depth of field in a picture. We are now at the point where only a very, very tiny slice appears to be in focus… everything else a big blotchy blur. It is rather odd…
And yes, it feels as if now would be the time to just turn into a little round object and to fall through this rather dense space and onto the other side…
hmm, I don’t know… and I am not even sure about that…
