Happy Birthday
It’s my father’s birthday today. Happy Birthday!
These shots are from this past summer of him hard at work with the confocal microscope at the Friday Harbor Labs. Which as it happens, is where he is this weekend as well.
Diagonal III
I had thought to abandon my diagonal series for a while, but I have been unexpectedly called out of town on work, and might not be back for a few days.
So, that means since I had diagonal photos already to go, that is what you get – this one is not a favourite, but even so, I am posting.
If you have comments, I will get back to them at the end of the weekend.

Diagonal
Following from my horizon(tal) series, which I will likely return to, is the real reason I went out to shoot in the fog. I had been noticing how often there were strong diagonal lines in my photos – see this link for the ones just from this year which show up in my featured image for numerous blogs. I did not go back and categorize earlier years, but my impression is that there is a trend towards more diagonal compositions. And until this shoot, it was not deliberate.
This observation gave me a purpose when venturing into the fog – to take pictures with my camera tilted, and I only became distracted by the nice horizontal lines of the horizon, and of the railing that I have been showing for a week.

Boot tracks – and a guest blogger
For my archaeologically minded followers, and other lovers of dirt, check out Dirtgazing. This is your chance to be a guest blogger. Fame awaits.
I wish I had thought of “Dirtgazing” as a name, and locked it up. I could use it to host a granular-level discourse about archaeological sediments, or even navel lint.
But second best to my controlling the brand is that Melinda is calling for your pictures of dirt to feature in Dirtgazing. We must all have some to spare, even if they are just accidental out of focus missfires. I expect she would not mind if there was the occassional foot mixed in with pictures of dirt. Or even a trowel, or north arrow.
My friend Ehpem, who’s been in on the Dirtgazing silliness since the beginning has graciously agreed to be today’s guest blogger, and has submitted this shot of boot tracks in the Olympic Mountains.
