Longhorn in Winter

Steer in Winter
Photo-A-Day #1431

It snowed once again in New England. On my way home I decided to take a shot of this sculpture. It is at work. I pass it every morning and because I come in so early the sun is usually coming up at the same time. Today the snow on the sculpture looked really nice so I turned the truck around to take a few shots from the truck. The snow was coming down too hard for it to be too clear.

Today I had a phone interview with the local newspaper with regards to the upcoming Blogs, Brews and Belly Laughs event. I’ve also been looking for some bloggers in the area to recruit people to come to the event. I was even invited to the event myself today, it was pretty funny.

Update 3/10/09 – My Dad just let me know that the article is in the paper. Apparently my photo is on the front page. And Dad also let me know that the sculpture is of a steer not a longhorn.

Eva is sick, she’s been up and down between being perfectly fine and then she’s upset. She won’t sleep so we are both up right now. Allison has been sick too, I can’t get this because of the event next week and Friday night. After that I can get it. Not that I want it.

You Have a Friendly Heart and are Well Admired.

You Have a Friendly Heart and are Well Admired.

Oh boy, today’s fortune is a hard one. I’m not that good at taking praise and also touting my own name. Well, you wouldn’t be able to tell that if you read my latest blog posts about personal branding. But something like this fortune is a bit tough for me. I don’t have trouble with the friendly heart part but the “well admired” part is what makes me uncomfortable.

Is It False Humility?

Some may say that this is false humility. I don’t think so, I just tend to get uncomfortable around praise. I’m a put your head down and work sort of person I figure that I just do what needs to be done so why the big deal.

There have been people who admire my photography and while I think I am a fairly decent photographer I am totally blown away by so many other people. For example Bryan Villarin of All Narfed Up is a fantastic photographer. His post processing is also quite impressive. Chica, one of my most dedicated commenter is also incredible. Her blog, Photo Projectz has some really amazing shots.

Who fits the bill of this Fortune for You?

Who in your life would be the most appropriate person in your life to get this fortune? A family member, a friend, sibling? Tell me about it in the comments.
