Electrolicious

Yesterday Dre and I took advantage of the weather and hit the road for a daytrip photo date to Fort Worden. Dre’s photos are over here, and you can see mine over here or below.

Tonight, I watched from the window of the bus as a college-aged couple stood canoodling on a street corner, standing close together and touching each other’s faces. While my bus sat at the red light, an ambulance screamed by. The young man held his hands up over his girlfriend’s ears. She grinned, and lifted her hands up to go over his.

Here’s a question for you: does something have more value if you had to work really hard for it? Or do you value it more if something comes naturally — not effortlessly but in a state of flow-going?

This very much relates to this old post, musing on issues of laziness and work, worth and value.

Sometime within the next couple weeks, Electrolicious is going to get a face lift. It will be something like this. DO NOT PANIC.

How can I say this? Lately, I’ve been feeling proud of my portraits. It’s become a part of my job, and I’m really enjoy it and trying to not look like the totally clueless self-trained bumbler that I am. It’s slow going, but I feel like I’m getting better and have less results that I’m just like “oh, oops. FAIL!”
