If your day isn't going well, consider one guy at his home on a Saturday morning. He answered the door in his underwear and found the Dallas County Sheriff, a photojournalist and a DMN reporter.

Although he's got a new story to tell, I'm sure his whole day was ruined. No, I didn't make any images there.

The color and composition on the first image of the Obama t-shirt and coffee is awesome! I had to look at it several times to realize what I was looking at.
