Day 81 (Thrs., Dec. 1)

Sometimes you are asked to do assignments that simply seem boring. It's hard to stay focused and not have any preconceived notions when going out on assignment.

The first assignment that I had to do today had to do w/ a story on how people in the community of Lighthouse Point are mad that bigger, two-story mansions are being built next to small homes. It's blocking the light, the wind and it's making the one-story homes look ugly.

Today I was worried that I would not have an appealing photo to go w/ the story. So, I shot the above photo. I used symbolism in it and I hope you got it. If not, I could explain. It's a photo three homes taken from inside the second story of one of them.

The view out the window is of a one story home next to a two story one. If you got my message, there's a thing going on here: a small home is sandwiched between two bigger homes. Got it? Cool.

I got access into the home by talking to the men who were building the new home. So, it is always good to talk to people when on assignment. It's also good that I spoke Spanish, because these men (who are from Mexico) were able to talk to me in their language and they helped me out.

I was getting ready to pack my bag and leave the office on my way home. That's when I was asked if I was on my way to my evening assignment. I was confused. I had an assignment and I wasn't aware of it. Good thing I found out before it was too late.

So, I headed out to a local park where young girls were practicing soccer. I was there in time to get some photos before they finished practice. I guess it was cool that I showed up late. It gave me an amazing twilight look. The colors of the sky were amazing and I was able to use that for my advantage. Cool.
