Soft

There is a very narrow focus on this shot. Only a small part of the frame is in focus, and I like it like that. It has a dreamy feel to me.

It’s been a busy week. I’ve gone back to work. The new school year just started and a bus drivers job is never done, which is good for job security. =)

As always the first couple days are chaotic and crazy. Combined with the shock of coming back to work after a summer hiatus, and the uncertainty felt by thousands of new students in new situations, there is bound to be problems. However the organization I work for is well skilled with the pressures of first day back. There is a lot of pressure for all. For some a lot more than other, for certain. With lives literally on the line it’s not something to take lightly.

I myself had made a mistake that caused great distress in one family. I’m happy to say that everything ended up positively. But it could have been less than a good ending in many ways. I felt bad and stressed and probably will for some time to come. It’s difficult to anticipate every scenario, and even then in the heat of the moment to always be perfect. I know I used to think school bus drivers were kinda lame, but I tell you what, we have to deal with a heck of a lot going on all at the same time and do it knowing lives are at stake. It’s no small job.
