Boy Ghost, whose photographs are wonderful, recently offered to mail his followers a print of whichever photo of his they liked, a generous gesture which I thought very cool. I chose several of my favorites and asked him to decide on which to send; he mailed the image above, which is captioned thusly: “Clouds speed over the monument and cathedral at Mount Vernon place. No Photoshop on that sky, just good ol’ slow shutter speeds.”
I wish I had the the means to send thanks to everyone here whom I appreciate; perhaps I could offer to write a some pedantic, pretentious prose on a subject of your choosing. I have a negative temperament and tend to get distracted by the discordant noise from the fact that there are so very many here whose work I admire: your writing, your photography, your humor, your commentary. Thanks to all of you.
And thanks, Boy Ghost! The print is awesome!
