I’m leaving for vacation tomorrow, and have loads of stuff to do before then, so I’m tossing in an easy abstract picture today. I feel no shame about this whatsoever, as even this tossed off one is rather pretty, methinks. I’d like to give this a title having to do with Sheeana or the Ghola …

365.300 for RC Concepcion
Several weeks ago, RC Concepcion compared looking at people’s 365 projects to “watching a fat man do jumping jacks.” I took some offense to this, and (despite claims to the contrary) I believe it was meant to offend and discourage amateurs like myself. I’m sure this is all in my imagination: why would RC alienate …
365.299 Monday
Mondays are strange phenomena for the working stiff. On the one hand, another week of drudgery begins, 5 more days of toil, another 40 or 50 hours before even a chance of relaxation.

The weather was beautiful, and I ended up being more interested in the walking than the shooting, though I did manage to take 320 pictures… Here is the Scavenger …
The street photographer’s guide to shooting domestic poultry
I don’t often post links to other people’s work… perhaps I should. This article suggests that I should, but I wonder if it isn’t geared toward the pro-am, wannabe, semi-pro, and pro photographers out there. In any case, I don’t often post links to other people’s work, but when I do, you should clicky immediately. …
