Trying a Micro Four Third
Rented the Olympus E-M10 from Borrow Lens with the 75mm F1.8 and the 12-40mm f/2.8 for a week. But as luck would have it – we have been having constant rain the whole time. Given the recent draught conditions and lake levels in the central Texas area I really cannot complain about the rain – but it is making it very difficult to get some usage out of the rental 😦
To top it off – I forgot to put the memory card in it on Saturday.

What to Do?
I ran into 2 different, yet similar, quotes today:
Can you remain unmoving until the right action arises itself
and
If you are facing a challenge and reached a place where you don’t know what to do, do nothing. Get on with your day as best you can. The solution you seek will make itself known to you when the time is right.
I get it. You get to a point when cannot really do anything.
