Simplicity is economy. Make the simplest photograph you can today. Take things out until you can't remove anything else.
I laughed when I saw today's assignment! For me... it really IS "simple"... because just by chance... really... this happens to be the t-shirt I am wearing today! What else could I do? Life is good.
PS - I like how the wrinkles look like mountain ridges... :-)
Like what you do

La Fortuna is the name of a district and a small city located in San Carlos canton, in the Alajuela province of Costa Rica. "La Fortuna" is Spanish for "The Fortune", and aptly named due its ample supply of tourist attractions and extremely fertile lands. Although there is a common myth that the town got its name due to its sparing from the Arenal Volcano's eruptions, the town actually got its name before the latest eruption cycle and was named for the fertile lands ("The Fortune") where it is located.
In its full extent of 225 square kilometres (87 sq mi), there are 9 small communities with a total of 15,383 inhabitants, making it the fourth most populated district of the canton, just behind the districts of Quesada, Aguas Zarcas (es), and Pital.[1]
Every summer we host a lunch and invite our good friends. Shaun spends a week cooking and I spend a week worrying about the little details and hoping for good weather (this is Canada after all). Usually we have it outside on the lawn overlooking lake Ontario. This year, on the day of the lunch, we had torrential rains and thunder storms.
This meant we had to move it inside. I was disappointed at first, but it turned out to be one of the best lunches we have ever had. The food was excellent as usual, but the warmth, intelligence and graciousness of our friends was a privilege to experience.
Shaun and I are honored to keep such good company!
