This is almost four years old, and I've just fished it out of the archive. I have no memory of taking it, and I've sold all the gear that I've taken it with, and I'm happy that I took it.
Most random is the pattern of fallen leaves, but the brick colors look also somewhat random. iPhone 8+ photo.
I received a lovely Polaroid 195, from Leah Reich
, containing an unidentified film stock with two remaining exposures. For better or worse, here they are.
I don't have a scanner, and the prints are a bit curled. Sorry....

..che poi uno può perseguire che cazzo di icona gli pare. ma pure una concezione del tutto personale di perfezione. per esempio, a me piace moltissimo marc almond.
un'altra cosa che amo fare con morbosa mania è guardare i video di david bowie. in ogni modo e in ogni tempo.

A house in Crown Street Bury St Edmunds has a garden full of odd things that are constantly changing. We call it The House of Fun because it always brightens our day
Well, random in the sense that I stumbled upon this scene. It certainly wasn't random for the people (Amish?) who harvested this field by hand. In any case, "Random Harvest" is the name of one of my many favorite films.
As I noted in my previous upload, as I traveled through Western Maryland on I-68, I abruptly took a detour north into Pennsylvania and soon discovered this field which at first I thought was a hay field, but in any case, the bundles of "hay" had a unique appearance, at least for me, so I stopped to investigate. Personally, I thought it made for a beautiful scene. I'm not sure whether this was on the Maryland or Pennsylvania side, but it was right on the border in any case.
We saw this view while driving home from Wicklow town to Dublin. I spotted the rolling clouds on the left moving very fast and realized that only seconds of the sunset left.
It took me about 30 seconds to pull over, set up my tripod in the middle of the road and take 3 shots. My wife was making sure that I wont be run over by some car coming from behind, safety first ;)
Literally, two minutes later the whole sky was covered with clouds.
Specs:
3 exposures (-2 0 +2) merged using Lightroom 6.
Very little post-processing was done here, no saturation or color boosts. A little touch of contrast on the sky using Graduated Filter and standard retouching I use like closing highlights, opening shadows, whites/blacks points etc.
This is the view we saw.
Hope you enjoy it!
Any comments/advice is welcome.

"Does not the very word 'creative' mean to build, to initiate, to give out, to act - rather than to be acted upon, to be subjective? Living photography is positive in its approach, it sings a song of life - not death."

PixNote:
This is a "digital painting" of an original picture which means that I have post-process image in order to look a bit like a painting. I do so in Photoshop, using filters and a graphic pen on a Wacom Tablet.

Talia al Ghul: Just a quick purist verison to go along with her father.
Black Mask: Helmet make out of a ski mask piece.
Bane: Mask is also ski mask piece. Venom cord is a lego rubber band.
Professor Pyg: Maybe my favorite of the bunch. Mask is sculpted.
Hugo Strange: Just a quick update with a custom face.

These weren't at Zion, but a smaller park nearby. I don't remember it's name. It was great because of fewer people.
Sitting at the dining room table this morning, I was suddenly inspired by the lingering beauty of these somewhat bedraggled cut flowers.
I once possessed a vast collection of CDs kept in alphabetical order, particularly my opera collection, but I also cherished a touch of spontaneity in my life. Thus, I would often rummage through several large piles which I deliberately kept in random order, selecting albums on a whim to revel in the delightful surprises that emerged when I pulled them from the bottom of the stack. The challenge lay in avoiding a chaotic avalanche during this process, which required finesse to manage. I had to be careful not to trigger a musical landslide, but the thrill of discovery made it all worthwhile.
