...about serendipity. I haven't really had the desire to touch my camera much since graduation. I would take it out when we did touristy things or went hiking, but I haven't felt like looking at the thing. All of a sudden things started happening. I was asked to photograph some engagements and a wedding. I did the engagement shoot and had a blast. The wedding was yesterday and it couldn't have been more fun or glorious. Last week, I get a phone call from a girl I went to high school with and she wants me to photograph her family. I was also asked to shoot some skyline photos of Nashville and possibly another engagement shoot. It's so odd that all of a sudden I am getting asked to do all this, and so great that I am actually enjoying doing it. On top of all that, it comes at the perfect time when I could use a bit more cash. So, it's funny how things work out.
Which leads me to talk about my Sunday topic. I actually enjoy photography again. I love hearing people talk about my work, which may be egotistical, but it's true. I love picking up my camera knowing that I know what I am doing more than jo blo who just bought a big lens. I have a small simple camera, but I feel that I am able to utilize it more than someone with a million settings. I feel like I have an eye for things. I just noticed in the last couple weeks that I missed photography. I got a surge of excitement to apply for more photojournalist positions. Zach even looked at me and said, "It's so great to see you excited to pick up your camera. You aren't dreading it anymore." So anyhow, all this serendipity in my life led to me actually remembering something that makes me extremely happy, which is rather serendipitous.
:) Yay!
