Exorcise in light.

A friend of mine recently took a foundation photography course. We discussed many different photo ideas, then fell promptly to procrastinating. Finally, with deadlines looming, we sketched a story of a tired, hard working, blue collar soul just trying to make it through the day. 
oh wait, that's not a story, that's an autobiography.

I love and hate that this day was captured; it was a low one. (pre: 'long life revelation')






Overwhelmed by emotion, underwhelmed by life. Tired, tense, lost in sadness; I smoked a cigarette.

Thankfully, the photographer allowed me to assume my favorite role, which lies somewhere between muse and artistic director.




One perfect formula for mental and emotional relief is a combination of being outside, observing light and shadow, and helping someone achieve their artistic goals.

With increased focus and a renewed willingness to head back into the battles of life... With sun on head and feet in mud and shadow, let smiles slip through  puffy, tear weary eyes.
