rule #32 enjoy the little things

 i can't believe i've gone about two weeks without touching my camera, but every other day i still think and store bizarre photoshoots in the back of my head, even of people i don't talk to. and every moment i happen to miss still turns into a gif image only i can see. yesterday was so lovely i had to record it somewhere, but seeing as i can't go without a photo for every post, i managed to plan a last minute photoshoot with tanya and got some really unexpected shots, which boosted my day even more.

morning: getting up extra early reminded me how refreshing it is. i still dont know if i'm a morning person or night person. i noticed in the newspaper a photo of three males in striking tartan suits, which always always makes me smile. they also happened to be playing ping pong, which reminded me of an old inside joke with a friend.

then the endless little moments at school, where riley and dakota were subtley playing a game with themselves near my circle of friends flashing cheesey smiles and waving at random moments. those kids will grow up to be something great.

in creative writing, the harris burdick artworks were incredible, unfortunately a faithful comrade and i struggled to be inspired to write a piece sparked from the quotes and pictures. our only option was to sleep on it then and there, which we also struggled to do, but i can safely say our troubles were erased when a classmate actually fell asleep in our next class watching a film in which our lovely teacher introduced with dramatic music playing the background. (probably a had-to-be-there moment).

then the little dilemma at lunch break where i challenged my comrades to plan something against me, but ended up soaking eachothers' lunch and positioning shiny objects against the sun to blind us and getting eachother wet. well, only my comrades were drenched. i only witnessed everything.

when i got home i was suprised to find tanya in pink high waisted shorts and an old baggy 'grand canyon' tshirt, for retro vintage i never knew she liked. it triggered me to do a photoshoot right away, and managed to capture a bit of everything: the newspaper cutout, the real smiles and laughs, the roses representing valentines day, although i viewed it from a completely different way. my valentine was bryn. 

 how many cameras?                                                \

(other little things) i love it when the full length window reflects the garden onto my computer screen when i edit pictures to create a completely new and (surreal?) image.

measure your day in smiles, and enjoy the little things.
