You can see I'm pretty limited in my photo manipulation skills. These edited pictures are fun to do every once in a while given the right subject matter. I'll probably do a few more before the 365 ends.
Lately I've been trying to get back to what inspires me as a writer. I've been trying to look at things that I would usually take for granted or not even give a second glance. And I had a little epiphany when I realized that there's a story in literally everything we see. I saw someone at the bookstore the other day who had brought the wrong coupon and couldn't get the discount on her purchase that she was expecting. It may not have been a big deal, but even from afar I could tell that it had upset and inconvenienced her. She had come into the store expecting to get 30% off or whatever, and when she finally got to the register, she found out it wasn't going to happen that way. For those few moments it was the saddest thing ever. I don't know why. But there's a story there. And for that entire day, all I wanted to do was capture that moment on paper somehow.
Summons the muse
Makes it dance
Lights its fire
Spreads its wings:
The voice of one
Much wiser than this
Makes it dance

Song: "The Birth and Death of the Day" by Explosions in the Sky. Post-rock instrumental. There's a beauty in the shrieking guitars and crashing percussion that makes it completely unnecessary to even have vocals in the song.
