Pursued by Tired

Pursued by Tired

“There are only the pursued, the pursuing, the busy and the tired.” — F. Scott Fitzgerald It’s toward the end of the day, I need a shot for my 365 Project, and I’m exhausted and feeling a bit sick.    I wanted to do more for today and  I actually did get out and shoot a few things.  But in…… Continue reading Pursued by Tired
