The 365 Commitment

The Pinball Motif

Sometimes it is fun to just go out in the world and be a pinball. Bounce around sort of randomly and just see what happens. Have no agenda. Have no requirements. Just go and see what happens.

I first discovered this method of relaxation in high school. I was trying to become the photographer for the yearbook, so I desperately went around taking pictures. I decided in a homeless exhibit, so I started to wander the streets trading a few bucks for their story and their picture.

As it turned out, I discovered a lot of fascinating tales and learned quite a bit and captured some amazing stories. I do that same thing now and then, and enjoy it. I call it pinballing.
