Is it like a hard-and-fast rule that photos have to be, you know, in focus?

$69,000
Photography has led me to do some really random things. Like go to horse auctions, if you want an example.
This was the second one I’ve attended and I’m entertained enough that I’ll probably go to some more of them. The photography’s fun, but honestly the best part is listening to the auctioneers’ patter. That’s how I’ve heard things like, “He’s had all the outside stuff done on him.” and “Castration is not out of the question.” (This was not referring to the same horse, obviously.) And I heard, “…if you don’t know where your butt is compared to your feet…” which sort of reminds me of my own personal gracefulness.
Anyway, this horse sold for $69,000, in case you were wondering what the going rate is for nine year old geldings.

she made it!
So what happened is that there was time for us to just wander around the Greenwood District in Tulsa the other morning. We could tell as soon as we left the hotel that Something Was Going On – streets were blocked off and there was a steady stream of people walking with great purpose, all going the same direction.
Later we figured it out, when we noticed the end of the annual Heart Walk. (We may be slow, but we can – with ample context clues – eventually figure stuff out. In this case, we got a strong assist from the giant sign that said FINISH LINE and a few hundred people wearing Heart Walk shirts. Perhaps I ought to consider a career in something related to sleuthing?)
I am really enjoying my attempts at street photography so the discovery of the finish line was a good time to practice, and this exuberant woman made me very happy.

This guy was awesome: he turned his chair around so he could watch the people getting off the plane.
Or, this guy was creepy: he turned his chair around so he could watch the people getting off the plane.
It felt like it could have gone either way.

It is not even possible for me to be bored at an airport, as long as I’ve got a camera.
I passed time the other day at the Albuquerque airport testing out (or, really, playing with) a Zeiss 21mm lens that my friend David loaned to me. And this is what it saw.
