It may be work, it may be play, it may be near, it may be away. So here is the challenge - to shoot and post one photograph a day on this site. These photographs are a kind of diary of things I find interesting. I am also thinking that there will be days when I am unable to shoot, so on those infrequent occasions, I will post a photograph done on another day, but one that still feels important to me. - Ken Spencer

Avoiding The Sun
We went to dinner at a restaurant that had outdoor seating. Four of us sitting around a table. Only one problem, with each of us facing in a cardinal direction, someone has to face west, toward the setting sun. That would be me. So the trick was to find if there was a way to block the sun. One of the sides of the umbrella over the table was broken and sagged. So we rotated the umbrella so that it kept me in the shade. With all the studying of the arrangement of the umbrellas, I suddenly realized that there was an interesting abstract photo. Here it is. By the way, I noticed today that this is my 1200th continuous post since the blog began. Feels like a significant milestone - about three and a quarter years.
Congrats on the milestone Ken, I love the blog and have been following it from the beginning. I enjoy the variety and the creativeness of your photos and like others I also love the history lessons and prose. Your retirement has been our gain.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your 1200th post. I hope it continues forever! It is what I look forward to each day before starting work. Love the photos and the stories.
