I think I need to write down my "smile" moments as they happen. I feel like I'm forgetting some.

Smile #1 : Reviewing some of my pictures I've taken. I've been negative towards my work lately and comparing it to other photographers, which you should NEVER do. There will always be someone you think is better. There will always be someone who has nicer equipment than you, or seems more talented. There will always be someone smarter than you, someone who dresses nicer than you, someone who is more friendly, someone you think is prettier than you, etc. But I've come to grips with the fact that I'm the best ME. I'm happy with that. Of course there is always room for improvement, and you should never settle with average or quit trying when you're "comfortable." I guess what I'm trying to say is to still have aspirations! I have a couple on my list right now. Don't laugh.
                   1. Get a dancers body. Or at least toned. Or at least no get winded from climbing stairs.
                   2. Buy that dang new lens.. It's only $350... 50mm 1.4.
Ok. so.. I have more than that, but those are the only two that have been on my mind recently. Anyways. This smile #1 has been a tangent. But bottom line. I reviewed my pics and I smiled on my favorites. I'm proud of them. But I aspire to be better after every shoot.


haha...hahahha this was smile 5.5 when I was looking for some creative element to add to my boring text post.

Smile #2 : My coworkers are the best. I have two jobs. Well three technically. Island Tans, Uinta Golf, and Photography. Today I was working at Uinta, and my crazy coworker, Dick Clark, starts dancing a singing at the counter. Now. You have to picture him. He's a stout, shorter man and balding. 50's I assume. And he is such a character! I think he made me smile more today than I have all week.

Smile #3: Watching my 7 year old cousin trash talk my uncle. She's a feisty one and it was hilarious.

Smile #4: Going out to eat with Ciera! We got a blondie at Applebees and it was amazing as usual.

Smile #5: Talking to a professional photographer on facebook. Yes. Jarvie. From the last post. Which he read my last post and thought it was funny I would give a shout out to him. Oh the embarrassment of my life. But still smiling.
