something doesn’t seem right

Good gracious! Something seems amiss here.

But the worst thing (possibly) is that no one seemed to notice; they were just going about their day not even caring that there was an armless man piloting the boat through thin air while also blowing a sizeable amount of smoke out of his mouth.

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.

On one hand, this is an absolute mess of a photo. But on the other hand, it’s my favorite of ones I made over at a park the other afternoon. (It’s a genre I’m calling UICM, or Unintentional Camera Movement. I didn’t invent it but am nonetheless an avid practitioner of it. Apparently)

Yes, I’m fine.

I bring it up because this is the fourth day in a row that I have posted a color photograph, which is probably a record for me.
