A day off
I took so many pictures yesterday I need a day (at least!) to try to sort and catalog them. So after an especially productive morning shoot at the roost I decided to hole up for the day back at the park and work on them. Somehow I've got to decide how I want to share more of these wonderful pictures with you.
I got a little behind in posting here and you might want to click back a few days to see what I have added since you were here last.

Skepticism is Helpful
If you want to notice things that seem wrong, you'll find a degree of skepticism helpful. I take it as an axiom that we're only achieving 1% of what we could. This helps counteract the rule that gets beaten into our heads as children: that things are the way they are because that is how things have to be. For example, everyone I've talked to while writing this essay felt the same about English classes-- that the whole process seemed pointless. But none of us had the balls at the time to hypothesize that it was, in fact, all a mistake. We all thought there was just something we weren't getting.
