    Just FWW - The park to which I take my dogs in about a block or more square, with lots of open space, a couple baseball diamonds, and a path all around. And along one side of the park there is a fence, dividing the park from a wetland, nature preserve, which bars dogs, etc. Anyway, most sunny mornings for the past few weeks, this guy has been sitting in the nature preserve, sometimes where I saw him today, sometimes in the weeds, sitting on the ground, looking into that mirror. I've tried to get a decide shot with my cell phone camera, and with the X100, with it's 35, but he's been too far away, or in the weeds. But this morning I had my XPro1 kit, threw on the '90,' and finally got some decent shots. I haven't a clue what he's doing, and have no idea whether he does either. Also, I had some qualms about posting the photo, wondering whether I am violating my own "no bums" rule. But finally I decided that the image is so far from the usual homeless person image - and I don't know whether he is homeless or not; I suspect not, and can be viewed in so many different ways, that I'd go ahead and post it. Besides, I really, really like it. ;-)

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
