28 Faces, day 13

I like taking photographs because I like life. And I like photographer people best of wall, because most of all I love humanity.

I am convinced that my camera is smarter than I am – I didn’t even see the way the reflections in the floor made a cross until I was already home and the images were downloaded. Way to go, camera!

Moving on now, after what seems like a really long run of Cuban images.

This was at the Library of Congress on a sunny morning.

The man at the information desk at the entry told me that the second floor was the “grandest room in the District,” a comment I took as hyperbole. Until we walked upstairs. The room is covered with tiny mosaic tiles, some of which are gold and caught the light in a way that made the whole place just glow.

PS: Today starts my 15th year of posting daily photos. It started out to be a one-year “let’s see what happens” sort of deal; I had no idea THIS is what would happen – that I’d still be doing it, that I would have posted over 5,000 images, that I’d start to think of myself as a Photographer. I guess it shows the power of trusting the process, even if you’re not sure what the process even is.

Yeah, so it happened again. I saw this image and a piece of a song floated through my mind.

“In the vastness of space/your words disappear.” Thanks, Paul!

An Illusion. Or Not.

I was in Washington, DC, recently for a conference. Of course, I took my camera. But you know what? I just wasn’t feeling it – in 5 days, I only made a handful of images.

I did get this one, though, so maybe my camera earned its keep on the trip.
