Another something I tripped over the other day on my walk…
Archives For found type
Sometimes when processing images, I find random shots which seem the result of occasional, accidental shutter bumps. Do you ever do that? When dealing with film the occasional, accidental shot used to drive me NUTS, but with digital I could care less and am often amused by the result regardless of whether it “works” or not. Here’s one I just found this weekend:
It doesn’t matter whether you won or lost…. just that you tried your best. So just keep trying.
Update: Like this photo? Now it’s available as a matted archival print here in my Etsy shop.

I’ve been inside for most of the day editing, ironically, images of the beautiful autumn colors outside. Here are just a few:
Couldn’t resist the abruptness of the last image in contrast to the other four.

Notes like this remind me of how lucky I am to have friends like I do– a little bit of silliness to share a smile.

It is always interesting to see what sort of messages a different culture sends out, even one so seemingly similar. Here are a few highlights from a trip to London a few weeks ago:
