I see so many people using Instagram these days, with so many (and I'm hesitant to say it) ... really bad pictures. So I finally installed the app tonight and played around with it. It definitely can be a cool tool, but I think it really takes some thought and effort into how the filters and effects benefit or improve the photo you're sharing, and in many cases, they don't. I scoured my pics for a bit until I put together this frame, which brings out the contrast of my black pup with the blue blanket, while blurring out the rest of the shot to give her an eye-catching sharpness. It's not really my type of thing, but this one did turn out pretty well.

"Oh life, it's bigger, It's bigger than you and you are not me. The
lengths that I will go to, the distance in your eyes. Oh no, I've
said too much, I've said enough. That's me in the corner, That's
me in the spotlight, Losing my religion" - REM
Watching the snow monkeys at the Jigokudani monkey park near Nagano was fascinating. They seem so human, often lost in thought - I guess that's a big part of their appeal.
Random shot of Thing One while she was out in the yard and I had the long lens on unsuccessfully trying and catch the finches that have been visiting the bird feeders. Played a bit with some cross-processing for a change, too, since it seemed to fit the shot.

Lone figure sitting on a rock in early morning just taking in the surreal view of Portland waterfront with smoky haze from fires up in the gorge.
"Thinking with a feather
Moving it round the surface
It contemplates with me
Flowing, helping me make decisions
Lines carved deep within the metal
Waiting for the ink to be pushed into them
They will tell my story forever to be seen
Will someone read my story the way i drew it?
or will they bring their own visions to mine creating a merger of lives?"
