number 3

This photograph was taken in San Diego. The bridge in the background is what you cross to make your way over to Coronado Island. Coronado Island is deceiving because it really isn’t an island, but they call it one anyways.




I was with some friends when I took this picture. It was around 6 in the morning. I really wanted to see what the bridge looked like at Sunrise. And so I got up early one morning and I drove down to the bridge. I thought I was going to be the only person that dumb to get up that early but they have this long walking path and the whole time I was taking pictures I would see people walking briskly. Have you ever seen someone walk briskly?? It is that awkward looking walk where they take a bunch of little steps and they stick their hips out really far to the right or left as they walk and while their hips resemble that of Shakira their arms are in a punching position so that when they walk they look like they are punching the air. It is really bizarre.

But anyways…

I really like this picture because in the background you can see the number 3.

Can you see it???

If you look in the bottom right-hand corner you will see a white number 3. It was painted on the side of a Navy ship. But because of the fog you can’t see the ship…just the number.

I love the number 3. I guess you could say it is my lucky number. What’s your lucky number? It feels like such a high school thing to ask. I don’t know where the idea of lucky numbers came from. I used to play basketball in high school and everyone wore jerseys with numbers on the back and so all the players fight over the number they want. They never had number 3 in high school so I would wear 12. My high school logic was that 1+2=3. It was really cool though because my senior year my coach surprised me and ordered me a number 3 jersey. So all of my senior year I wore the actual number 3…no addition required!

Anyways, I love this photograph because you can faintly see the number 3 in it.
