It’s the end of the month, natch (does anyone<\/em> say “natch” anymore?) and so we are beholden, through the ancient rituals of this here blogareenie, to feature an abstract image of some kind, far too often a quite poor one.

I’m not going to tell you what this is – you have to figure it out for yourself. I will say that this is not as-shot, instead edited in GIMP, but a very simple edit. It came out far better than anticipated, with lots more sparkly bits, and who can resist those?<\/p>\n

[Only tangentially related, but over two decades ago when working as a ‘stringer’ wedding photographer, I attended a wedding planner event put on by one of the photographers I worked with, a married couple. Right before the doors opened, the wife scattered glitter with abandon all around the studio. I was careful to remain out of the line of fire and didn’t even set my camera bag down on any such adorned surfaces, but that wasn’t sufficient, and I was finding glitter in my bag for years<\/em> – just the occasional little sparkle from the depths when the light was right, but goddamn, that shit gets everywhere. I’m pretty sure I have that same bag stashed away upstairs, and I bet if I did a careful examination of the nooks and creases, I’d still find some. The sparkles seen above, however, are well and truly gone.]<\/p>\n

I’ll be back later on and tell you what this is, if you really<\/em> need me to.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
