Me too. But you might want to leave the "World Misery" section next time you visit the local Borders bookstore. Same with the "Death Channel" on cable TV. I would recommend buying a Leibovitz/Sontag/Adams/O'Keefe/Weston/Cartier-Bresson/Ritts/Sterfeld/or Mapplethorpe photobook, for starters. Next, head over to the "Humor" section and pick up something funny.
As much negativity and misery as there is (and always will be) in life, I think there is an equal or greater amount of positivity and beauty.
Why not pay some attention to the latter?
