This word has been on my mind since yesterday. So it is easy today when I started on my calligraphy practice. No need to search for inspirations, it’s already there. Decided to just do black and white. It fits.
Watached a YouTube clip on Keith Carter done by “The Art of Photography” in his Artist Series. And learned that Keith lost most of his vision in one eye and still went on to produce amazing photos. It gave me encouragement knowing that there is still hope for photography after this. A lot of people only have one eye and can live a normal life. I still have vision in my right just not as good. So I shouldn’t despair or lose hope. I haven’t. But I do know the reality is slowly setting in and it’s not a welcomed one if I can help it.
We went to our favorite Vietnamese restaurant, Lemon Grass. I had my usual the seafood pho and Leo had his usual, drunken noodles. It was a bit of a rough morning this morning for Leo to begin with. The parking lot was full when we pulled in and we had to go to the back where there is a toll away sign warning us not to park there. Being a rule stickler, Leo was not comfortable to park there. We had to. So it unsettled him a bit more. Not a good morning for him. He settled down after lunch. It just goes to prove that, our equilibrium can easily be disturbed by life situations, not matter how content or calm we think we are. Learning to stay calm is a hard lesson.
