experimental photography

had to try a tilt-shift lens, especially when:
i had a sudden burst of inspiration + saw a great bargain at borrowlenses.com + holiday
= time to play & have fun!

i thought i'd just be shoot.shoot.shooting away, but playing with the TS requires more intentionality and slowing down than i had expected. it's good for me. i like the challenge.

anyway, i went to the holiday renegade craft fair today on a whim and besides having my head about to explore from all the omygod.cute.etsy.colorful.handcrafted.goodness spilling out of the fort mason center, i managed to take some pictures along the way.

le route

from work to home.
on my way, my phone popped out of my pocket. (poppin pocket?)

so, i back-tracked 1/2 a mile and decided it was gone. the total trip ended up being about 9 miles with a short detour to the verizon and apple stores. since i lost my phone, i'm really considering getting the iphone. i already love it, now i just need to consider if my love for is it willing to throw down a chunka chunka each month.

on a different note, i had a few firsts today:

• first time i've ever decided to run home from work
• first time i did run home from work
• first time experiencing being "in the zone" while running
  
• first time losing a phone
• first (and last) time living on Sept 17, 2008.

i lived today...and i know i lived it well.
