Is There Any Wonder?

The reason I started this blog was to have a place to write. The reason I continue to write on this blog is to have a place to reflect. Words continue to be important to me and while I know that my method, which is to wake up each morning, write for an hour, and publish, leads to a higher number of typos than I'm happy with, I strive for it to be the best writing I'm capable of producing each day.

The reason I started taking photos at school was because I found them to be useful "bookmarks" for the things I wanted to write about. My relationship to photography has been an uncomfortable one. While I appreciate that photos document moments that are there and gone forever, I hate the idea of experiencing those moments through a view finder. I've tended, therefore, to use photography merely as a functional art. I'm perfectly satisfied using the camera built into my phone. I use an app that allows me to take pictures by tapping anywhere on the screen, which allows me, at least a little, to stay more present in a moment even as I record it.

I typically only take, at most, a handful of photos each day, but one day this week, I took a lot. Today, I wanted to turn this blog upside down and minimize the words and just share some highlights from my photo stream. It kind of amazes me how much we do in a single day.

And this is only a glimpse. We did so much more on that day. Is there any wonder I love my job?

I put a lot of time and effort into this blog. If you'd like to support me please consider a small contribution to the cause. Thank you!
