I am rehabbing from foot surgery and am still non-weightbearing for another couple of weeks.

That has put a bit of a crimp into my usual photography processes, which mostly involve driving around until I see something interesting, then getting out to walk around while I explore.

The alternate version of that (having someone drive me, shooting from the car window) is actually giving me a chance to look at things from a bit more distance than I usually would, giving me practice framing shots differently, and a lot of chances to say ridiculous things like, “Can you back up like about an inch?”
