I consider myself a fairly decent photographer. I like to take pictures, I've thought about "seeing" and I've practiced looking at the world in new and unique ways. And if you get nothing more out of photography than that I think you will be well served. Too many people get locked into seeing things in only one way. Too often we only turn on our sense of wonderment and observation when we go to places where we feel its permissible. Recently I found myself sitting in a room full of people learning about cameras and photography as part of my work training. Each person there was taking pictures and many of them were turning out pretty good. So good in fact that I started to feel that my photography was just average among the group. There's nothing inherently bad about average but it made me question my feelings of specialness and uniqueness. The question arises: If I'm not special in some way what sets me apart from others? What makes me, amongst all these other people worthy of any special attention? What makes me worthy of the love of another, especially one so special? That's a tough question to answer and its hard for me to accept that simply being me is enough to warrant the love and attention of another. It drives many of us to seek to quantify our own self-worth. If we could only achieve certain milestones of worth we can feel worthy - possibly even more so than anyone else. | 11.04.2006
This morning I got out of bed just like normal. I have the day off, so I slept in a little. Knowing that I need to take the dogs out for their morning walk, I dress, put their leashes on and head out to the little trail by the house. As I walked down the trail I notice its unusually quiet - especially for the Saturday. The highway, C-470, is usually pretty loud as streams of cars go rushing past in both directions. This morning there was not a single car going east or west. As I walked nearer I start to hear a loud roar, as if some very large vehicle were heading my way. I was still down in the gully area so I headed to the top of the hill where the walking trail runs alongside the highway. There I see a string of cars that included a limousine, several white vans, various police and sheriff cars and an emergency vehicle. I can only assume it was the presidential motorcade passing by. The President is in town according to the NYTimes. I just happened to be taking the dogs on a walk as it passed by. Yeah, exciting, I know... | |
