Dawn of a New Day

Wow! Thank you so much for all of your comments! They really mean a lot to me especially since I had a significant amount of ups and downs last week. But today is a new day. And I'm trying to remind myself that. I think things are looking on the up and up. We all have shit that goes down, good days and bad. My coworker has gotten the short end of the stick when it comes to meeting quality men. And I have witnessed her pain and frustration. Last night, she saw and supported me through random bad shit. Just when I felt like I was at my lowest, life struck me another blow and I nearly lost my phone in cab. But unlike last summer, I got my phone back. My coworker found it in the cab and smartly emailed me right away. And I smartly checked my email right away. So all was not lost.

In fact, my mini tribulations pale in comparison to real issues. I found out some news about someone - a medical issue that they will absolutely get through. But it made me think about my own life and problems. The phrase, "at least you've still got your health" comes to mind. Life is hard enough as it is without crazy, unexpected illnesses. But then it seems like people who have gone through more unexpected pain are stronger, with a happier outlook on life. Hmm.

okay, on that note, I need to figure out my photography assignment. My thoughts are that I'm leading towards street photography because I feel that unplanned photos are more authentic portraits than sit downs (or at least that's what I'm drawn to). Now.. how to find subjects and photograph them in 15 degree weather!?
