1095 - Rainy Day Blues II

This is the guy we first had in “1034 – That Look You Give That Guy“, and then recently in “1089 – He’s The Keeper” and “1090 – Feelin’ The Same Way”.

For no particular reason I have changed to the Sigma 20/1.8, a long-time favorite, and when I used this title for the first time, it was with the very same lens. So what? Is this a rain lens?

This is one of the images that I had envisioned as a square. I had approached the bike, more or less centered the focused headlight, and it was clear to me, that I would do the final composition while cropping. It’s not uncommon that I crop, and thanks to Ted Byrne and Mark Hobson I have developed a loving relationship with the square, but what IS uncommon, is that I make an image with the intent to crop to a square. Normally these are afterthoughts.

It’s rainy now. Meteorologists even expect snow this week, possibly down to 300 meters. Wow, swimming on Saturday, snow by mid-week! Well, let’s not assume the worst 🙂

The Song of the Day is one more time “Rainy Day Blues” by Willie Nelson and Wynton Marsalis. Hear the song from their 2008 album “Two Men With The Blues” on YouTube.
