But still try, for who knows what is possible. - Faraday
The chairs were probably taken out to enjoy a smoke, then forgotten. They seem to invite onlookers to view the world from this perspective.

I love my friends. It's thanks to them that I still feel optimistic and generally in good mood even when I am 27. Thank you!
Sometimes I shoot self portraits when I can't put my feelings into words. I found out yesterday that my grandmother has breast cancer. I didn't know how to feel or explain, as I really didn't know how bad it was or how it was going to be treated. After calling her and finding out the logistics, I felt a sense of relief because there seems to be more hope in it all than I originally thought.
I love my grandmother. She, with my mother and grandfather, were the three most influential adults in my life until I was 14. They each took equal parts in raising me and changing my life in the deepest ways. They were my three parents.
My grandfather died when I was a freshman in high school and I was a mess after his death. For a writing class recently, I had to unearth all of those buried feelings of loss and sorrow and write about the day he died and the events that followed. Needless to say it was a chance to experience healing. So, the timing of my grandmother's condition is kind of ironic, in a sick way. After dealing with the pain of losing my grandfather, I was now experiencing this new possibility of losing my grandmother.
It's been a ride, to say the least.
These images are meant to be viewed in numerical order, but they were uploaded backwards to Flickr. Just a heads up.
This image (#3) is meant to illustrate how I felt after speaking to my grandmother on the phone. Brighter, more hopeful and optimistic. Everything is looking up, though it's all still terribly unfortunate and there's a long road ahead for my grandmother.
I love her dearly, and I hope that you can keep her in your prayers.

Call me Snake offers an optimistic provocation – ‘imagine what could be here’ by Judy Millar. On a walk into the city October 3, 2015 Christchurch New Zealand.
The work is comprised of vibrant graphics of Millar’s looped paintings, which are adhered to five intersecting flat planes, and draws inspiration from the forms found in pop-up books. The colourful piece will add a dramatic and rhythmic counterpoint to the city’s current urban landscape — a mix of flattened sites, construction zones and defiant buildings that have stood through the quakes. The work employs theatricality, playfulness and visual trickery, whereby the viewer is unsure about the work’s flatness or three-dimensionality; and it has been designed to offer a different perspective from each angle. The bright colours interrupt the grey of the work’s surrounds, and as buildings pop up around it,
SCAPE 8, New Intimacies curated by Rob Garrett was a contemporary art event which mixed new artworks with existing legacy pieces, an education programme, and a public programme of events. The SCAPE 8 artworks were located around central Christchurch and linked via a public art walkway. All aspects of SCAPE 8 were free-to-view.
The title for the 2015 Biennial – New Intimacies – came from the idea that visually striking and emotionally engaging public art works can create new connections between people and places. Under the main theme of New Intimacies there are three other themes that artists responded to: Sight-Lines, Inner Depths and Shared Strengths.

I bought them last year. Thought it was funny to have the same kind of shoes in another color. I don’t know why, but they are evil, they cut my toes. Lately I am not very lucky with my shoes.
Meet his good brother.
I was walking on a nature trail in Tampa, Florida.
The trail ended at an elementary school back lot. It was a Sunday, so I poked around.
There was a dumpster behind the school, and this guy was sitting on top of the dumpster in exactly the pose I show here.
I like his optimism. He's in a dumpster, but he's definitely on top of the situation.
Cool.

At the Brugge cemetery, Belgium. Most of the graves from up 1900 are showing photos of the deads as an enamel plaque. After many years even the photos are fading away, rthe colour bleach or the enamel breaks. And so fades the rememberance.
He's looking so young and optimistic.

Update on Darby! The little kitten who couldn't poop to save his life is doing great now! He's completely off meds for constipation and so far so good! It's still not super clear what caused his severe constipation but we're optimistic he won't have any lasting effects from the ordeal. Darby is set to get neutered Monday and if all goes well he'll be going to his forever home! Thanks again to all who helped us cover his staggering vet bills!

I was optimistic thinking my suitcase could make four different flights through three different airports.
It ended up going Wenatchee > Seattle > Los Angeles > Las Vegas > Phoenix > Los Angeles > Sydney > Melbourne and arrived some 48hrs after I did. It was sticky. Sad that my suitcase has had more fun in Las Vegas than I have.
Also, having a photo of a bag tag turns out to very handy when it goes missing. I reckon I should do this more often.

Meet Susan, an optimistic, patient mother. She has lived in Joplin for most of her life and in her current home for 26 years.
Susan was working at Macy’s on the evening of the tornado. When she heard where the tornado had hit she immediately knew it was near her home where her 23 year old son was. Her normal 12 minute drive home, took over one and a half hours. When she got home, she saw that a tree had fallen on her house and part of the roof had been blown off. Susan’s son had taken that Sunday off work and was at home listening to music on his headphones. He had no idea the storm was coming in until the windows were blown out and debris and water were flying everywhere. He went into the hallway to wait out the rest of the storm and walked out with only a single scratch. When Susan asked him if he was scared he replied “it was nothing mom.”
The first couple of nights after the storm Susan and her son stayed in their damaged home. Afterward Susan went to stay with her sister for about two weeks. Susan had a cat that had been missing for a few days but was soon found in the living room unharmed but very startled. Because of the conditions of the house she decided to move the cat to a different home. They tried to make the most of living in the damaged home by putting a tarp on their roof and hanging shower curtains over the windows for temporary shelter.
About a month after the storm Susan was able to receive help from a neighbor to get a new roof put on. Later she had several volunteer groups help. She prioritized the rooms that were most important to fix first including the kitchen and bathroom. The last two rooms needing to be redone are their bedrooms. The past groups that have been working on her house are out of funding, and she is thankful that Rebuild Joplin is able to help cover remaining costs and repairs. Susan loves how wonderful all of the groups that have worked on her home are. She is excited to get her house “put back together” and was able to save many items from her damaged home.
At the Birmingham Social Media Cafe on October 29th 2010, we asked people what they were optimistic about.
It's a spin-off from newoptimists.com. We asked scientists 'what are you optimistic about?' — and their answers are now in a brilliant book.
