Focusing a reversed 50mm by rocking back and forth is difficult. Good exercise, but difficult. And it eluded me today, but I got closer than yesterday, so that counts for something. At two separate points, I was busily shooting bees, stopped, looked up, found a couple pushing a baby stroller stopped inches from me, and …

365.289 a beginning
Sometimes, the only way to begin is to walk away. I hoped to have a happier beginning beginning this week, but it didn’t begin, it ended, and it ended before it even properly began. I’m not particularly bothered about this particular state of affairs: I was not long invested in the project, and I found …
