Inspired Moments

I have very random moments of artistic inspiration in my life. I've noticed that the times when I'm in the worst mood are the times when I notice the beauty of things the most. By the "things" I notice, I'm referring to landscape mostly.

Take today for example. I wasn't having a horrible day by definition; just one of those days where I get tired of what's happening. I was on my way home and I stopped to see if the mail was still in the mailbox. It wasn't. But then, before I pulled away, I noticed the way the light was hitting the mailbox and the landscape behind it was gorgeous. Something about it just struck me.

Well, luckily I had my camera in my purse, and I used it. I took picture after picture of that mailbox, among other things, just trying to document on film what I was seeing in reality. And I'm fairly happy with the results.

I really want to take up a photography class somewhere though.

Photography gives me such a sense of thrill at the beauty that I notice when I look
through the lens of a camera.
