# ACTUALLY TRIED TO POST THIS FIRST AS A RAW FILE, THEN AS A CONVERTED HDR [UNSURE HOW THAT EVOLVED, ACTUALLY]. A MESS. FINALLY WAS SUCCESSFUL WITH CONVERTED PNG FILE, A TREMENDOUS COMPROMISE, BUT NONETHELESS AMUSING TO UPLOAD THIS APPROX. 123MB FILE, DESPITE FLICKR/YAHOO'S PROTESTATIONS. ;-}

[ A FAUX RHAPSODY IN GREEN-RED ]

>>> BEFORE I BEGIN POSTING MY MOST RECENT REDSCALE, AND MORE, I HAVE THESE PREVIOUSLY LOST [TECHNICALLY IGNORED, I BELIEVE, AND FOR REASONS UNKNOWN], JUST BATSH&T CRAZY SUPERSAMPLER IMAGES. I'M EXORCISING THESE VIVID, INEXPLICABLE COLORS PERHAPS.

OF NOTE: I'VE SHOT AND POSTED A FAIR AMOUNT OF SAMPLER SHOTS OVER THE YEARS, AND YOU CAN SEE MY BIZARRE EVOLUTION [OR PERHAPS I'M DEVO ;]. BUT THIS, I BELIEVE, IS THE BAT GUANO WACKIEST EVER! THAT REALLY IS SAYING QUITE A LOT, I SUPPOSE. WAIT FOR THE NEXT ONE! ;-}

I HOPE YOU ENJOY, AND THANK YOU FOR STOPPING BY. PROST! 8^) .

# IN CAMERA, A TRUE TRONA PHOTOSTREAM CURIOSITY...

FROM THE WTF FILES. ;) BUT SERIOUSLY, THIS IS FROM A PHONE BATCH SHOT ON A MAJOR INTERSTATE OVERPASS AS I WALKED ACROSS, STOPPING AT THE CENTER TO DO A 360 OF THE BLUR OF PASSING CARS TO BE STITCHED TOGETHER AS A SORT OF SELF-PORTRAIT. TO MY AMUSEMENT, SURPRISE, ET AL., THERE ARE EIGHT OF THESE, WITH THEIR LIGHT SOURCE ABOVE, CONTRASTING THE BANAL BLUR OF LIGHTS DELIVERED TO THIS MEDIOCRE CAM COURTESY FAST MOVING/PASSING TEXAS AUTOS A COUPLE OF INCHES FROM ME, AND PASSING DIRECTLY BELOW -- THE INTENSE, RAPIDLY-MOVING PARTY TRAFFIC OF THE HILL COUNTRY [I WAS JUST WALKING TO THE STORE FOR CAFFEINE ;]. AND VOILA, I SUDDDENLY HAVE THE URGE TO CALL MULDER!

A STILLNESS IN THE MIDST OF THE CIRCUS. I WON'T SAY UFO [OOPS... I JUST DID. ;]. BUT, AN UNIDENTIFIED LIGHT SOURCE.]

# FOR FURTHER REFERENCE, PLEASE SEE THE OCCASIONALLY SILLY TAGS, AND IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, I'LL PERSONALLY CONVEY THEM TO MULDER [WHOSE WHEREABOUTS, PRESENTLY, ARE UNKNOWN ;].
