One of Them Days

[wlotus]

Today was one of those days where I was down about various things outside of my control, and nothing I did in the house seemed to shake the blues. Last I checked, moping around the house on my day off was not part of the plan! So, on a whim I threw my standard supplies (paper journal, favorite fountain and ballpoint pens, DSLR, iPod, and MetroCard) into my trusty, purple knapsack and left the house. I correctly assumed a ride on the Staten Island Ferry (and naps on the long subway rides to/from, as I couldn't bear the thought of sleeping at home, for some reason) would help lift my spirits.

The Staten Island-bound ferry passes the Statue of Liberty

Tomorrow I am going to help photograph 53 classes at an elementary school in Brooklyn. Pray my strength. (Oh, who am I kidding...in spite of the fact that I don't look forward to waking at 5:30 AM, I can hardly wait to get back to work!)

Im finding more and more that heading out with the camera is a the cure for the blues. I try and set the challenge of finding something artistic to photogrpah.
