“ The only difference between a good day and a bad day is your attitude. ”

“ In real life, I’m not a photographer. I don’t travel as much as I should, and I take the same route to work nearly everyday. Once I began searching for lost shoes, I started to see my world a little differently. Since I never knew when or where I might come across a lost shoe, everyday errands became journeys in and of themselves, and my once mundane commute, an adventure that I got to take twice each and every day. I learned that my same old work route wasn’t the same at all - it changed all the time. The dirt and leaves in the gutter, the shards of broken glass and bits of rubber on the center divide, the cigarettes, the twine, the newspaper, the toy, the shoe – they come and go, and now I notice. I suppose everyone is searching for something - something that will make them drop whatever it is they are doing whenever it comes along. I know it may sound strange, but for me, it’s a lost shoe. I don’t know why finding a lost shoe is so intriguing – more than the toys, the books, the shirts, the tools. Maybe because it reminds us of our own loneliness – of somehow being abandoned and becoming lost in plain sight. Maybe because it’s just hard to imagine how someone wouldn’t notice that they are missing just one shoe. Whatever the reason may be, I know that each time I find a lost shoe it’s like discovering a mysterious secret that lots of people might see, but only I notice. ”

“ I have learned, that there is still so much to learn. That life has its way of focusing on the blurs that come with youth. That good things can go bad. And all bad things can lead to something good. ”
Jorge Daumy
