intuitive thinking.: Dust

I can honestly say that I do not like dust. At all.

From 5pm-2:15am, I have been sitting in front of this computer removing little specs of dust and other unknown spots from my scanned in negatives. In addition to that, I was adjusting the levels and curves of every photo. As of right now, I am completely satisfied and finished with 81 negatives. I still have to scan around 80 negatives (give or take a few crappy pictures). After I get all those in I will have a total of around 180 negatives to remove dust from and do other fun stuff to.
And yet, I just want to go out and take more pictures. I don't know why I am saying that like taking more pictures is a bad thing, because that is honestly what I need to be doing to learn more. When I can actually get out and just escape from everything and everyone is when I feel the most 'in the zone'. Having my camera in my hands allows me to forget everything and simply focus on my subject(s). It is like a mini vacation :)

Enough deep thought for me tonight, my brain is mush from all of my Photoshopping tonight. Here are my top 5 favorite images out of the 81 I played with tonight. Let me know your thoughts please.
