This morning I woke up with a smile on my face. I jumped in the shower, dried myself off and threw on some old clothes off the floor. Capping myself with my favorite red St. Louis Cardinals hat and popping in my earphones I headed off for some Starbucks. Simon and Garfunkel accompanied me as I made the short walk across the street and got my chia latte. "The Only Living Boy in New York", you may recognize if you've seen Garden State played in my ears as the perfect weather made every flip flop better. There are two lines from that song that fit today:
"I get the news I need on the weather report",
and
"I've got nothing to do today but smile".
I've got a lot more to do today than smile though. I've been accepted to blog "professionally" for a hotel company in Los Angeles, contacted to do photo essays for a world wide contemporary art magazine, I have an interview with a wedding company in Thousand Oaks and my book - Along For The Ride finally came in last night! After weeks of "what the hell am i doing?" I still have that feeling but I have the illusion that I have more direction. Things are on the verge of happening (if they aren't already) and as long as I put forth the effort and do my best I can be a successful photographer here in the big city.
My good friends Keegan and Cat are coming into town tonight too, so today is full of positive energy.
Have a good one, I'll catch ya later.
peace,
-marc
