Daily Prompt – Word Of The Day: Exposure

To take a picture in the old way means exposing film to light to create a image. Then you have to process and develop that film to create a print that can be seen by everyone.

Exposure also means being made aware of things that are not familiar. Lots of places need exposure to share what they are doing and to bring people to the marketplace of ideas and commerce.

Exposure can also be a very negative thing when bad behavior is brought to light so that all can see. No one wants their dirty laundry to be seen.

It’s interesting how exposure can have different applications and uses in life. It can also have special meanings depending on the situation.

Quote Of The Day

We live in a world in which we need to share responsibility. It’s easy to say “It’s not my child, not my community, not my world, not my problem.

Then there are those who see the need and respond. I consider those people my heroes.

Out and About For All

A cool thing I saw tonight was a group of Muslims out shopping at a nearby Walmart. They were a mixed age group of adults and teenagers which was super. It’s important to remember what makes America truly great is people of all walks of life out living their lives just like everyone else. It’s their community too and they should have the freedom to be themselves everywhere they go. Everyone should enjoy being out and about like all of us.
