Sometimes life just isn't a clear picture. Well, actually, it's more of a rarity that it is or will be. Sometimes you can eat a gigantic meal, but still feel hungry. But if you happen upon a bite of Elvish Lumbas bread, you'll be full for the day.

There's something to handheld, from the hip, slow shutter photography. Fellow Flickrite melon vacation [Mel on vacation, get it?] commented that it has a certain je ne sais quoi and I couldn't agree more. The above shot of a couple clusters of black eyed Susans on the north or east slope of grass at the base of the Society Hill Towers mound was created simply by moving my hand from left to right, camera in hand, with a slow shutter speed [1/4 second] and without framing the shot through the viewfinder.

Life's unpredictable. Like the results of a photo. I have a general goal when taking a shot like this, but you never know exactly how it'll turn out. Trial and error.

Do, or do not. There is no try. – Yoda.
