I am trying to make myself take photos of people. It is not anything that comes naturally to me, but I am committed to becoming a better photographer, to expanding my boundaries, and all that stuff.
This kid made it really easy – he saw my camera and asked me if I’d like to take a picture of his microgreens. I made a counter offer: that I make a photo of the microgreens (he was very proud of them) with him in it.
And this is what that looked like.

Dallas, in the distance and through streaky windows
When I was getting ready to make this photo, I was wishing that someone had washed the hotel windows recently. I didn’t care for the streaks on the glass or the way they interfered with the photo I wanted. But as sometimes happens, the things I disliked the most ended up being (to me) important to the image. They remind me of cartoon stink lines radiating up from the distant skyline.
