WARREN CONNECTICUT – Glowing morning light in the stand of white and red oaks and sugar maples next to our house. Nicely seen but badly executed. Somehow nothing I shot today is in focus. It seemed like I was doing what I always do but the results are wildly defective. How can this happen? I’m going to fuss with my gear a bit to make sure everything is ok (this particular rig – the Sony Nex-7 and 24mm Summilux lens has never let me down before, and indeed this combination does not demand a high level of technique). I’m worried. I overcooked some past earlier this week and Maria was quite testy about it. I’m putting a small version of the image up because at this resolution you can’t see the defects.

On this day last year: Bricks and more bricks. At least last year I got an in-focus image.


yo! you’re human. Thank god for that! and overcooked pasta was just your way to test Maria. And maybe your camera is telling you to experiment with out-of-focus. You never know. Subliminal message.
