personas

Leslie posted a link to personas on her FB page, and I tried it. It's interesting, but you can't capture the prettiness of it all, and I didn't see a way to save the result--I grabbed a screenshot of it. I wish it was bigger, but I didn't want to try to save it as a TIFF. Interesting.

I'm always surprised when other flickr users "favorite" my photos, especially when they're kind of real-deal talented photographers. I'm a semi-obsessive photographer, but I use a five year old point-and-shoot digital camera that I love mostly because it's tiny and I can carry it with me always, and I know basically nothing about composition, lighting, or any of the fancy settings that are technically possible. I just aim the camera in the general direction of pretty/weird/interesting stuff and hit the button. So it's a happy surprise when something turns out well and when it doesn't, I just delete.

Anyway, here are some of my pictures that people have added to their favorites.
