okay, i'm realizing that my Thing is bringing entertainment and joy to people working in offices. so many of you who work in an office have sent me little emails to say that this blog brightens your day.
that makes me happy, and has honestly got me thinking.
lots of photographers have photographers as their audience,
lots of photographers have art-lovers as their audience,
but i'm pretty sure that my audience is you.
the person who is working working working, needing a little breath of fresh air.
and honestly.......
i'm in your same boat.
i work at my desk monday to friday....
i often get bored and need inspiration,
i get tired of doing mundane daily tasks
i get lonely and need a little chat with a friend,
i get hungry and need to search my desk for a snack.
so, leave me a comment, say hi from your cubicle,
and i want to send one of you lucky people a real, live photo to pin up above your desk.
because you're awesome and you deserve it.
just leave a comment and say hi!

ps: just like always, this photo has zero fakeness, its all 100% real light. didn't add a yellow filter, didn't add any TRA actions, just real life.

i adore your photography and writing, but you already know this. you've inspired me to shoot with so much more clean light. and to see the little things.
(08.24.10 @ 11:40 AM)i don't work in a cubicle, rather, i'm just a school girl slaving away at her desk, doing homework. so that sorta counts, right? you blog definitely brightens my day. i love your dish photos...you make everyday things seem so darn pretty. so thank you :)
(08.24.10 @ 11:46 AM)What if my office is a classroom? And I share it with 25 monkeys, I mean kindergarteners?
I still REALLY REALLY love and appreciate your posties.
LOVE YOU!

(08.24.10 @ 12:03 PM)This is me saying "hi" from my cubicle and affirming that your blog and photos bring joy and fun to my days at work. When I'm weary of my inbox, voicemails, and never-ending piles of to-dos, I take a break on your site and always feel refreshed. Thank you, Shannon!
(08.24.10 @ 12:05 PM)I work out of my car as my cubicle. Does that count? So love the above photo by the way. There's just something about it....

(08.24.10 @ 01:44 PM)Thanks Shan! So glad someone is looking out for us cubical workers! Sending love your way now!
(08.24.10 @ 01:48 PM)laura-------- I'M HERE FOR YOU!
(08.24.10 @ 01:51 PM)Thank you, Shan. I follow your blog almost daily, thanks your facebook updates. And yes, during the summer, I sit in a cubicle with not enough to fill my work time. So where do I end up? FACEBOOK. And let's be honest, sometimes Facebook can get me down. I get a little overwhelmed by the social pressures therein. Anyhow, your posts and pictures make my time spent online beautiful and refreshing. I've told you once, but I'll say it again, YOU ARE HELPING ME TO SEE BETTER. Thanks for everything, Shannon.
(08.24.10 @ 01:53 PM)To my real, sweet, lovely friend that I've never ever met:
(08.24.10 @ 02:14 PM)I work in the corner of an office and am currently snacking on tomatoes & cucumbers. Thanks for writing a post just for me (and all of us).
I LOVE how you bring the everyday life to it's real & rightful place: bright, purposeful, and wonderful.
Can't wait for January. :) :)
wow, i dont think i've ever had this many comments on a blog post. you guys are the greatest.
(08.24.10 @ 02:21 PM)Shannon, I would LOVE LOVE LOVE one of your pictures in my office! I'm glad you do photography and you're so good at it too!!! Thanks for being you. If I weren't leading a lifegroup, I decided I'd join yours!!! Maybe I could do the Artists Way with you guys or something.
(08.24.10 @ 03:00 PM)Shannon, thank you, thank you for your honest enthusiasm and consistent effervescence. You brighten up my work days, and inspire me to create more art. I love things better after looking through your photos. You're making the Wheatstone office more beautiful right now, and I'd love it if that became a more permanent state of affairs. :)
(08.24.10 @ 03:16 PM)Shannon, I would LOVE one of your photos to cheer my day each time I look at it on my desk. Your light-filled photos and blog have certainly provided many happy breaks to my work day. :)
(08.24.10 @ 03:54 PM)Hi Shannon! I love your blog and photos! In a week I will be back in my little drab dorm room/cubical. It could use some brightness, especially in the long Indiana winter:)
(08.24.10 @ 10:09 PM)hi shannon :) i'm sitting in my (cold!) cubicle smiling because of this lovely post.
(08.25.10 @ 08:15 AM)dudette. apparently my comment on FB didn't carry over here but i'm just going to reiterate what i said earlier. you're amazing. now how do i get a real, live shannon leith pic?! xoxo
