My portfolio idea for my photography class is still a work in progress. For now, I’m focusing on some form of night photography so lately I’ve been taking pictures at night with the help of a tripod.
Tuesday night was one of the coldest nights of October in northern Virginia. 40 degrees and high winds blowing almost constantly at about 20 miles per hour. I decided that would be the perfect time to get astonishing night shots in Old Town Alexandria.
When I was done taking pictures for the night, a friend and I walked back to my car.
While walking back to my car, I happened to glance at the sidewalk in front of me. In the middle of a ridiculous windstorm, a 5 dollar bill seemed to be stuck on the sidewalk. I picked it up and it was a normal 5 dollar bill with no fishing line attached to it and no gum keeping it stuck it to the ground. It was all mine!
My friend who was lucky enough to be allowed to witness me make masterpieces said that it was like God paid me to take pictures that night. I looked at it in a similar way because if I wasn’t taking pictures that night, chances of me finding a 5 dollar bill were extremely low.
Either way, it was a great feeling to think that I was getting paid to do what I love. I was thinking about framing it!

It’s a sign….that you should be doing what you love, for a living!
I couldn’t agree with you more. I’m heading out to make more amazingness in a few.
Those are actually pretty good, Millie. I would give you $5 for one!
Thanks for your kind words! That’s payment enough. Feel free to take them if you wish. I can send you the huge version if you want.
i would actually hang the fire hydrant one. then i’d lie about how we were best friends at state and how you had a major crush on me, but you were still my friend after being brutally rebuffed.
Yeeeeeeeeeeeah girl. Thanks!
I like that story. It may be slightly saucier than the real story.
