Until Next Season

100mm low key macro photo of a black-eyed susan flower with shallow depth of field and bokeh.

Until Next Season — 100mm | f/3.5 | ISO 100 | EXP 1/800

It is now September. This more or less puts a wrap on flower season for 2019. I have a few photographs from summer to publish here yet, but making new flower photos is all but done. Looking back on this summer’s flower shooting, I’m pleased with where I’m at. I spent more time with my 100mm macro lens than I have in years, and made at least one photograph certain to make the 2019 best of list. I am hereby allowing myself a pat on the back.

Random musings:

  • The New York Giants defense is terrible; after one game in Dallas it seems we’re onto next season
  • The New York Yankees are good; a deep run of October baseball will be my football
  • I am currently listening to Mornings on Horseback on Audible; excited to learn more about Theodore Roosevelt
  • Did a run of Star Wars audiobooks before that (with The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy mixed in)—Thrawn: Treason, Master & Apprentice, and Dooku: Jedi Lost; all were excellent. With music, sound effects, strong production values, and expert narration, Star Wars novels lend themselves well to an audio format
  • Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night was a good video game
  • Hollow Knight is an exceptional video game—easily in my top 5 favorites of the past decade
  • The Mandalorian is going to be great; all in on space western sci-fi
  • Despite my disappoint with The Last Jedi, I am pumped for The Rise of Skywalker
  • Starting my fourth week of HelloFresh™, impressed and satisfied so far
