Breaking Point

Imagine a piece of steel. What happens to that steel when you stack greater and greater amounts of weight on it? It breaks of course.

I'm that steel.

And I'm going to break.

I'm afraid of what will happen when I do. I only hope I can minimize the damage done to myself, my career, and my friends.

I'm miserable. My life has taken off and left me behind. I'm a day or two behind in all of my classes, I got a written warning at work because I'm falling behind in keeping track of photo assignments. I'm drowning under the pressure of far too much work, too much stress. I can't breathe, and for the first time in a long time, I'm beginning to panic. I don't know what to do.

When did my passion become my burden?

Anyways, I shot Barack Obama for the third time now today at Magness Arena, down at the University of Denver campus. It was quite the intense experience, and the first time I actually arrived at an Obama event on-time, much less early (press entrance was supposed to open at 7:30, we were there at 6:45). I'm not sure what to make of it, so I'll post the audio slideshow I made, using photos by both me and our other photographer Brian.
