The Furious Spinner

My husband has a concerned look on his face. It's quite touching. And amusing. I'm not sleeping, and I'm a bit wound up. Time to disconnect for a bit. I know you've heard that before. In an effort to do so, I shall post some photos that celebrate imperfection. I really should do drugs. Although it may be drugs that have me so wound up. The asthma chems do that, don't you know, and I've had my share in these past couple of weeks as I try to keep my lungs open and working. But enough about me. Three of these are from the old Pentax 1000, so they were scanned into the computer. I didn't feel like cropping them—too many extra steps so we'll have to live with the imperfection of the black lines on the edges.

Waterlogged Trillium: from Falling Creek a couple of years ago


Devil's Matchstick: about a 1/4 to 1/2 inch tall


Falling Creek: I did this a few years ago. Mario was trying to teach me how to take long exposure photos. Several things happened with this photo. First, once it was processed, it looked like an old photo. Second, it looked like we had taken several photos or that the camera had shaken during the exposure. The camera was on a tripod and there was no wind and no multiple exposures. The third thing that happened, which you can't see here, is that when I printed it, it turned red. It was gorgeous. I ended up using it as a cover for The Salmon Mysteries. Even though many things may be "wrong" with the photo, I believe it captures, for an instant, the spirit and essence of this beautiful place.


Blue Sky: It's the corner of our house. I just like this pic. I don't care what anyone says.

We should all be able to take such "imperfect" pictures! They're all beautful.
