This past week's lesson was about perspective. In the picture above are myself and my two best friends earlier today as we celebrated a birthday. The lighting isn't particularly interesting, nor is it flattering. Our faces are washed out by the flash of the camera and we look sickly, but it makes me feel so many emotions. I don't get to see my best friends very often; if I'm lucky we'll meet once a month. I now have this picture to remind me of the wonderful day I had with the two of them and I have two words that jump out at me to describe it: perspective and gratitude. They have been with me from my rock bottom moments all the way through my soaring successes. My perspective on our friendship changed today. What defines our friendship is not the amount of times we get together, but the gratitude we show each other when we do. We say, "I am grateful for you, and your friendship," every time we meet. I couldn't ask for anything better.
This would be great to light and see how little the lighting would look like the picture but could bring out the emotions you get from it
