Bess Seidler | best blogger | Inspired

My friend Bess started a blog and I find myself actually very excited to read her posts. She is an awesome writer and never fails to make me laugh. After reading her blog, I thought, "my blog is so boring." I need to use my other creative outlets to make it better. So here I am, writing away. I am not the best writer but maybe it will help me feel inspired for my photography.


I have been skipping school. Not because I think I am cool, but I needed to just get out and shoot. I went home Monday and stayed until today. I shot some strange idea I had of my cousins reflection in a puddle and the bottom of her feet. I shot it at 6400 ISO; for those of you who don't speak photography, basically, i'm an idiot. I went into my next shoot with Chris Chase and did the same exact thing. So, needless to say, I got off to a pretty lame start. Then I interuptted my aunts dance class and shot a group of children on the bar for my portrait of children. That was the last shoot of the day. Lets hope it was successful


That night my cousin, Brenna and I went to the gas station to pick up some food. It was raining and there was a man on a mo-ped. Bren says "who the hell is driving a mo-ped in the rain." Obviously it was the man who later on told me that he has only owned mo-peds his entire driving life and this is his 20th one. Anyway, I got an ice tea and some whole wheat goldfish and decided that I wasn't having the luckiest of day so maybe I will have a lucky night . . .

ME: "scratch ticket please?"
CASHIER: "That will come to $5.31."
ME: "Oh man, I only have $5
MAN ON THE MO-PED: "oh here, have a dollar."
ME: "Well that's awful nice of you."
......SCRATCHING THE TICKET ......
ME: 2 dollars
MAN ON THE MOPED: 4 dollars
ME: 6 dollars, 8 dollars, 10 dollars, Can I cash this in please?
CASHIER: "Sorry, the lottery is closed."
MAN ON THE MO-PED : "Here have $10, I will take your ticket."
ME: "Do you want to kiss me or something?
.........Just kidding, that last part didn't happen. But the worst thing and what this story really is about is the fact that I feel like an awful person because I realized when I got home that I only made $8 on the ticket. Not only did I take a dollar from the man but he gave me two extra dollars. . . AND THE POOR MAN DRIVES A MO-PED IN THE RAIN.
