Since I have almost finished distributing all of the Photography 139 calendars, it is time to start revealing what pictures made the calendar this year.
The picture that made the front cover.
The story behind this picture can be found by dipping into the archives:
November’s image.
I also added about 20 pictures to the Flora Album:
INFORMATION BELOW IS NO LONGER VALID
I should point out that because my galleries were victimized by spam, if you decide to register as a user because:
A. You want to comment on an image.
B. You want to rate an image.
C. You want to favorite an image.
D. You like me as a human being.
I do have to approve all new registrations to keep the spammers at bay. Don’t be disheartened, I’m pretty quick at approving real people for registration.
You might also notice that you are familiar with most of the images added to the Flora Album. I have finally gotten some of the classics up for your perusal. Including My Giverny and Happiness Shared #01.
I thought about waxing philosophical on how indifferent I am to New Year’s Eve and all of it trappings, but as it turns out I’m to apathetic to even write about it.
However, I am now intrigued by the concept of waxing philosophical. I know this is an old timey phrase that dates back to when the word wax mostly meant to grow. Such as a waxing moon. As opposed to a waning moon.
But, I still want to invent a product called Philosopher’s Wax. I’m quite certain that it could be used on both a convertible and a finely groomed mustache. A mustache like that kid at Subway has that Willy admires from a distance.
I’m told that New Year’s is a time for new beginnings, but it seems to me that to arbitrarily wait for one certain point in Earth’s orbit around the sun to make drastic or necessary changes in one’s life is silly, but not in a good way like the putty. Make those changes when you realize they need to be made and one certainly shouldn’t wait an entire year to reflect on their life.
So to New Year’s and all of its trappings, I say “Bah! It is a humbug!” Besides the time with family and friends. The day off from work. All the good food and football.
I thought I would throw out the picture for September while I was at it.
This is a picture of a moonflower.
