Take Out

28/365

"Shit, was time is it?"

11:45

My camera was empty. I had 15 minutes left to take a picture.

Click.

There's almost always background noise in my head. When I am focused at work, there's still the buzz of groceries, dinner, evening plans, Espresso, budget, running through my head. When I'm home, work often hums in the background. It's not negative noise. It's life noise. Reality. This project has become part of the static at times, "I need to take a picture," or "What am I going to write about?" And that's okay.

Still, the best moments are the ones that take me away. They distract. They turn down the background noise. They mute it. Escapes.

Happiness.
