| This little "Rascal" was one of three baby raccoons that made my aquaintance two days ago in the Kishwauketoe Conservancy, Williams Bay, WI. I had been photographing herons at a rookery early in the day and decided to go back out to catch the light as it played through the trees and danced on the wild phlox. I caught just a brief encounter with a curious little raccoon shown here - he graced me with one fabulous image part way up a tree, looking at me, with wild phlox around and behind him. Lucky me! |

My thoughts in the Field:
Job? What do you mean? ... OHHHH - this is a J O B? ... Nope, I will tell you what it is. It is a choice, a lifestyle, and definately a passion - life purpose, bring it ON! Need I say more? .. Well, I was asked and its interesting, especially when it's a Kindergartner. Its a great question and one that most might be able to easily answer, yet I was STUMPED. "How many hours do you spend at your job in a day?" I was asked on May 31, as I presented my work to 7 groups of wonderful kids at the Fontana Middle School... HMMM... What IS a job??? Oh,... well I used to be a flight attendant (8 years - hmm, THAT was a job) and then I went back to school and finished my degree in .. - Nope, not photography, .. psychology. Well, and while I p e r s u e d that I was a personal fitness trainer. Ah, and there I learned how to run my OWN business because Bally's fired me because I didn't wear their Uniform (even though I was their second highest sales person as a part time trainer --- OOPS, but now I could train people at half the cost and yet make more ... self employment started to LOOK REALLY good!).. - So back to the question - "How many HOURS do you spend a day at your JOB?" - Oh geez, dozens? or is it really 24? I mean, I eat, sleep and drink my passion. When I am photographing, I make pictures, when I edit pictures, its like Christmas to me, when I am driving, I see light and compose images in everything... I breathe my job - or does it breathe me? ... Ah - yes, ... that must be it. To be married to all that I am - my work, my health, my partner, my friends, - the very composition of life itself. ... Work is play and play is fun - therefore turning work into play! .. Guess what folks?! ... It is all choice, ... its all about perspective. |
