today i came full circle. i shot pictures from the roof of the hospital of this guy fixing their sign. just stepping out onto the roof gave me shaky legs. i was terrified to peer over the side, as you can see.
and it really shouldn't have been a big deal. i know i was pretty well protected. i wasn't going to fall off the building. my body just freaks out now.
i used to jump off 30 ft. bridges into rivers. i used to jump out of trees into water. i used to get too close to the edge when we went to cliffs at state parks.
but i can't do it anymore. my body just can't handle it. it kind of ticks me off.
p.s. - amy winehouse shares a birthday with me. she is one year younger. she looks really old.

that pic is pretty daring for someone afraid of heights.
but my favorite part of this post was the "post-scriptum" random. i love it.
i have a super fear of heights and just lookin' at you images makes my hands sweaty! seriously.
same deal with me too ... i developed the same fear of heights when i got older too - never had it before. then a newspaper i worked for wanted me to shoot platform diving, so i climbed up to the top one and my palms started sweating and i almost passed out - bad deal. so now i stay away from high places, but it didn't start until i was like 25 .. wtf?
Jesse- that's a sign that you're getting old. Just sayin'.
Love ya cuz! Christina
