Today was a good day. Although I literally got no sleep last night I was still able to function in a capable fashion despite being consistently nagged by that jittery wakefulness you get from insomnia. Unfortunately though, that jittery wakefulness does not contribute to creativity so I was not inclined to take risks with my camera, although I was able to snap a nifty shot of some trash at the dog park during the morning.
On the other hand, I did ace a job interview and feel quite secure that I will no longer be unemployed within the next two weeks.
Perhaps the most interesting part of my day occurred near the end. The magic hour of photography was upon me and I had biked into downtown Vancouver. While taking a break at the central library I noticed how many people congregated in that one spot. Unfortunately I was too chicken to power on my camera and start clicking. An 18-70mm lens does not inspire confidence while shooting candid street portraits. If any other photographer happens to stumble upon this post I would love to hear about other experiences in shooting street portraits.
In terms of health, my bowels continue to function properly and I enjoyed several small meals throughout the day. With any luck I’ll be packing on the pounds soon. Tomorrow I go to have my groshong port stitches removed and with that, a chance to head to the gym to work on triceps (no clue what triceps are). I’m tired now.
