"Just do what you love...don't worry about what others think"
The wisdom of Eddie And The Cruisers II continues to inspire...
...and just in time. I just got back from my Julia's gymnastics meet. The meet itself was OK, but frustrating...for me (and for her). I know she struggled, and in my hopes to raise her spirit, I didn't feel I took any good pictures. After processing them I feel there are some decent shots, but not great (I am used to getting her in the perfect position...at the top of the leap, at the perfect position)...
...so I played with Lightroom to see if I could tease out some good shots.
You know what?
I captured Julia's character:
Precision...from 20/hr a week dedication
Perfection...during warmups
Focus...and not caring what others think
Grace...in solitude
Gratefulness...to do what she loves
Effortless...backed by tons of effort
Friendship...with a coach who cares
Mounting up...after scratching bars
Flexibility...in what life throws her way
Balance...during struggles
Alone...but determined
Processing emotion when down...
Massaging...and resolving
Solitude...and a decision
Deciding to salute...to perform her best...doing what she loves
Thank you, J. I really love watching you do what you love.
