When the alarm went off on Monday morning I wondered as I looked at the time if I had agreed to something that I was really going to regret.
I got myself ready and I kept looking at my bed thinking it looked so inviting, I wish I could snuggle back into it.
As I headed out on the dark and lonely highway I wondered when I would see the sun.
I entered the building I called my destination and headed to the office and wondered what the day would be like.
I walked into the room and saw all of the computers, the studio lighting, tables full of binders and cameras and many curious faces…I thought to myself it will be amazing, I am so glad I agreed to come.
As the day came to a close and I made my way home I pondered about how often we procrastinate to do something that is a sacrifice to ourselves and a benefit to others. That simple act often becomes the most educational and satisfactory thing. I did not spend the day in the soup kitchen or volunteering for a wonderful organization but I did spend the day with a group of the most amazing high school students. That’s right…I spent the whole day with the film and media students at the Leduc Composite High School. As I talked to them about camera settings, posing, natural and studio lighting I was rewarded with the gift of sharing my knowledge to eager ears. I am sure there have been more than one laugh at the school today as they walk around looking at the size of the other students eyes and which side of their face they subconsciously favor!
Thank you to all the students for listening so well, for not being shy to ask questions, and most of all for being yourselves and having fun learning about photography!
Till next time…
