No comments allowed as I've heard all the Trump excusers I can tolerate.
I had an idea for my 365, and that is why I borrowed Dave's 50mm lens. But I could not get it how I wanted, and I was getting tired and impatient, so I just stuck the camera in my face and snapped.
While I think this is a fine portrait, it just seems extremely boring to me...and this is coming from someone who tries to not go all-out when I take my 365's...

If my head would have been in line with the jar, this would have been my 365. But alas, another for the reject pile.
behind everyone who behaves is if he were superior to others, we can suspect a feeling of inferiority which calls for very special efforts of concealment. it is as if a man feared that he was too small and walked on his toes to make himself seem tall....alfred adler

how is it that that happens in almost every picture? seriously!
Rejected in Llanbadarn
Passion plagues me to the gills,
Drowned with love for parish girls.
God knows! I have never pulled
A single one. They're appalled
To think of it. On my life,
All reject me: maid, hag, wife.
You should see the bashful blush
I provoke. I sidle, brush
Up against an arch-browed lass,
Call her to my lair of leaves,
And she blenches at my charm.
Why? I don't mean any harm.
I have laboured under love's
Enchantments always: no lives -
Not even Garwy's - are struck
By such bitter blights. I'm sick
To think - they shoo me away
Though I court them two-a-day.
In Llanbadarn, there's not been
A Sunday that has not seen
Me crane my head from some nook
In the church, to sneak a look.
I've spied them - as I sat -
Between the feathers of my hat:
When we are kneeling, praying,
One turns to the other, saying,
"That sallow-faced flirt back there,
With leering look, lanky hair -
He knows mischief! Look askance!
Do not catch his sidelong glance!"
"Is that what the rascal's like?"
The other says. "I'll not look
His way, or hear his drivel!
Lecher! Go to the devil!"
What a shock - to get that curse
When I had hoped to caress
The same lips that spat such spite!
I must give up these dreams, fight
The impulse to care, become
A hermit, be detached, calm -
Dejected. By Christ, I've glanced
One too many times, entranced,
Over my shoulder. I sigh,
Go mateless, my neck awry.
Poem by Dafydd ap Gwilym, paraphrased by Giles Watson, 2013. The church of Llanbadarn Fawr, Aberystwyth, would have been Dafydd's parish church when he was living in Brogynin. Garwy, father of Indeg, was enamoured of Creirwy, and was, in fourteenth century Wales, a stock symbol of helpless love-enchantment. It is likely that in the last line, Dafydd is identifying himself with the Wryneck, a bird of enchantment, so named because of its habit of twisting its neck in seemingly impossible contortions. In modern scientific taxonomy, the Wryneck's generic name is Jynx.
I have received some factory rejects, probably from China. Many of them are in rough condition and look like they have been coloured with a red substance that seems to highlight edges.
I wonder what I am looking at here...
- Was the intention to highlight edges and flaws as part of quality control?
- Did a bottle of ink just happen to fall over these?
- Or was the intention to make the parts ugly and less suitable for resale...
Let me know in the comments if you know :-)
So off we go to Enterprise for another trip to our customer in Liverpool. Paperwork completed, mileage and any damage noted... but there is an issue.
The seatbelt is twisted. This greatly confused me to begin with. The passenger belt was perfect, the drivers looked like it somehow twisted on the part attached to pillar. There was no way to rectify it.
So I reject it. After a short wait the replacement was a Kia Sportage. No such issues.
