A week in the life

Someone asked me last weekend if I was enjoying my job.

In the week prior (OK -- let me include 10 days for effect) I'd followed bison around while visiting with people who'd come out from Pennsylvania for the action. I'd photographed people voting and people counting votes and people protecting votes and people celebrating the votes they'd received -- in a day where work started at 9 a.m. and ended at midnight. I'd learned about school district programs and successes. I'd photographed beautiful fall colors, I'd listened to the gory details of the job of forensics specialist. I'd wept with a Vietnam veteran while he told me what it meant to be honored after all these years. And then I wrote about it all.
