Some Nice Words / Our Daily Challenge
A much better photographer than I talked me into joining a group he's in on here called Our Daily Challenge. Determined to come up with something awesome and bokehtastic, I was like, HELLZ yeah. Turns out the challenge for today was "Some Nice Words". I was like, ummm, how do I come up with some nice words? I thought of some cliche ideas, even thought really hard, then I looked down at my wrist to the bracelet I've been wearing for the last week.
See, I have a co-worker named Bob Scheller. Bob has a daughter named Clare, who graduated High School this year. Immediately after graduation, she turned up with an incredibly serious condition, Leukemia. She was admitted into the ICU where she stayed in a coma for over a month. A star athlete in school, she lost her leg before she even awoke from her coma.
Her friends and the community have banded together better for Clare than I've ever thought they would and have raised literally 10's of thousands of dollars behind the battle cry of "Fight like a girl".
Nicest words I could ever image to put up.
Thanks for the warm welcome to the group. Hope you like my thoughtful shot for today (and a lil bokeh because, well, who doesn't dig some bokeh?
