Why, yes, I DO have a new lens. I got a LensBaby Sweet 50 – it was part of my medium-term plan to keep busy while my foot gets well enough to walk on. That’s 25 more days, for those of you keeping track, so I needed to think of a project that I could do inside my house. And like skillful photographers everywhere, I used that little project as a justification for a new lens. I mean, I only had to convince myself and I’m notoriously easy to sway, but still you never know.

I love it when people take the time to send flowers – they brighten up the place quite a bit and it is always nice to know you’ve been thought of.
And then, when all that’s stuff done, they are a ton of fun to photograph as they pass through various states between vibrant and crunchy and dead.

it’s in the details
An architectural detail on the Administration building at Texas Tech. Although I’ve been on campus a lot of times (except for those two semesters when I was enrolled but sort of…wasn’t there…all that much) I never noticed these details.
Maybe the message here is GO TO CLASS WHEN YOU’RE A FRESHMAN. (I feel obligated to add that, since my granddaughter will shortly be a college freshman.)
But really, I think I turned out OK anyway, and I feel like up to maybe three* of my friends who agree that skipping classes that awful year didn’t really hold me back that much in life.

*Maybe four. But probably three is a more solid estimate.

If I have to claim a photographic goal for the year, I guess it would be to be less literal.
Or to stop trying to focus.
Or maybe those are the same goal, just differently stated?
