Shot with the Olympus E-5 at the Natural Roots CSA coop farm in Conway, Massacnusetts.

This photo is an example of achieving Meaning In The Mist, a concept in photography whereby the focal point, shot with a minimum depth of field, has a meaningful relationship to the part of the subject that is deliberately out of focus. See the Flickr group Meaning In The Mist.

This shot and I were both banned by the group "A Square Magic" despite the fact that it was invited by one of the admins. and despite the fact that I had awarded the requisite number of photos in their pool. No reason given of course. Bizarre!

Boppin'

I have very few still life shots in my portfolio of photographs so here's one for the stream. Since I love both baseball and jazz I decided that this was the likely candidate. This shot was taken in my home with an Olympus E-510..

As a child my favorite ballplayer was a rookie by the name of Henry Aaron. Who could have guessed at the time that he would go on to become baseball's greatest legitimate home run king of all time. No steroids, no fanfare, all consistent strength one day after another.

Some of my earliest musical influences were based in opera (Italian, French and German) and jazz. I just loved Dinah Washington's soulful renderings. As time went on my tastes in jazz became a passion.

So here, in these photos, Professor Bop is a Boppin' ...

Is the dog mimicking the man or is the man mimicking the dog? They both seem to be looking at the same thing ... wouldn't be the photographer would it?

This shot was taken on MacDougal Street in Greenwich Village, New York City. This was shot in B&W.

Contemplation

I'm really happy with this shot. I like to think of this as "double-mist" or triple depth of field. The woman is focused in the "mid-ground" with the foreground and background both in blur. There are actually two separate foregrounds here.

I like the way these two strangers were facing in the same direction, both too camera shy to look forward and strike a pose.
