A Bad Day at Work
Work is crushing right now. We're all really busy and the pace isn't letting up anytime soon. In the bigger picture that's a good thing. We're gainfully employed. No complaints there. Still, the pressure of staying on top of things can wear on you a bit and when you tack on a really lousy commute you've got a classic recipe for bad mood on your hands.
That was me tonight.
Then a funny thing happened when I got home. I was in mid-rant about whatever the hell it was I was mad about (for no good reason) when I tossed my keys on the table and noticed them catching the light pouring into my house from the setting sun. Then I saw my camera.
Without thinking, I grabbed the camera and started shooting. I wasn't trying to work my way out of my bad mood or anything; I just saw the light and went to work. Within about two minutes the long day and the screwed up traffic were about a thousand years behind me.
AND I got some pretty cool shots.
That, my friends, is why I need creativity in my life.

Wicked post, Jon. I can't get mad when I'm taking pictures or rocking out with the band.
I love it when life does that: sucks the big one but then gives you a break in the clouds. Happy Monday.
