Having The Courage To Take Risk!
A couple of days ago I was driving down Westheimer street near Beltway 8 in Houston, Tx. I was working a shift for one of my part-time gigs during the lunch hour and I was in between deliveries. As I was sitting in traffic waiting for the light to change from red to green, I started looking around at the surroundings in the area to pass the time. And that’s when I spotted them. That’s when my eyes became locked on a few of what I am calling “professional risk takers”. And for a moment I was actually glad the red light seemed to be taking a little longer to change.
Now I admit without shame, photography is NOT one of my strongest creative skills. As a matter a fact when it’s time to take pictures I’m one of those people who usually ask that someone else take the pic because “I don’t take good pictures on my phone.” My family will vouch for this. I have messed up plenty of good pic family photo opportunities. However, when I saw the “professional risk takers” at work, oddly, I immediately wanted to take a picture of them because seeing them inspired me. (Side note: It’s absolutely amazing to me how easily we can be inspired if we open ourselves up to the miraculous inspiration that exists in the ordinary and mundane things that we often take for granted.)
