Organically Obsessed — Donna Hopkins

This is a feeling I love: being organically obsessed with something and sharing that feeling with someone else. Especially, when it’s someone who “gets it” (and by extension, gets me). I want to swap secrets and bond over mutual infatuations with things like taking pictures of cantaloupe or left over orange slices. That is, how to make pictures on those days when you don’t go anywhere or do anything that is even remotely interesting. And yet, still, this is the day you are presented with. And if you are like me, you are happy when someone tags along with you while you pick up fruit from the grocery store or gas the car or stop by the library. I am not trying to convince you that this is fine art or some high-brow endeavor. Instead, I am sharing an honest reflection of what it feels like to be alive today.
