Photoessay #2095 - Inadvertant images

There's plenty of ways to take lousy pictures.  Especially if your intention is to clearly document the event in front of you.  If you want a clear in-focus image.  And you don't know a lot about how to use the capabilities of your camera.

But sometimes, I like the images that don't 'turn out'.  That look like something else, maybe from out of our own sentient world.  You can manipulate the image freely (or not) because it doesn't have to conform to what things 'really' look like.

Dennis took this image in the early 2000s.  Could be Susanna in the middle.  Or not.  That funny part in the middle where somehow the light and focus reveals a face could be her friend Crystal.  Likely at a girl scout or athletic event.

The color sense of the Pacific Northwest marine forested clime.

I think early photography devotees strove for this kind of expressive dreamy type of image.

I have lots of pictures that turn out like this mainly because my own ignorance, hurry and carelessness.

Stop a moment, appreciate your image, you might see something else.
