Welcome to a blog that is me me me. (That is redundant x5, for those of you keeping score. And for those same folks of you keeping track, my blog ego rating will be roughly between 31 and 78.) The first thing I am going to do here is brag. Did I have something extraordinary published recently? No. Did I write a beautiful song? No. (But I have ideas for one, and that counts for... something greater than 0 and less than 1, I think.) Yet I did take some pictures this weekend that, with the use of some new photo software, turned out beautifully. This is an extraordinary accomplishment, considering that my poor Advantix camera no longer zooms nor wants to take purty pictures. But Advantix shots plus photo editing software equals surprising deliciousness. So there you go. The above is a picture that I am in love with. The smile is completely genuine and the result of some Utah Phillips talkery or some T.O.F.U. boldness. (T.O.F.U. = Tons Of Fun University. A spoken word trio that boggles the mind with its awesomeness.) I could talk about the subject of the photo, but that might drop my blog ego rating a bit too low. Let's just say that his likeness, in varying forms, has been entered in a photography contest. And the fact that I can take credit for merely capturing a beautiful moment really is quite stupid. And I love it.
