Focus.

A photography blog has to have at least one post titled "Focus", doesn't it?

This is a shot of someone's trellised back garden off a quaint narrow street in Annapolis, Maryland, courtesy of a bendy Lensbaby. I do like my Lensbaby, but I fear I don't put it to as much skilled use as certain people I know, mainly because I need to get out and use it more, get to the point where it is a natural extension of my hand. But it's one of those lenses that can leave you surprised at what it shows you, and therefore qualifies as a prime tool for so-called serendipitous shots. I imagine a few LB shots might make it into my final cut of images for SoFoBoMo.

I'm looking at beginning my project sometime around the 25th, but have done precious little planning the last few weeks. My hopes to practice PDF-making before I actually have to produce the project's PDF likely won't happen. So the output for this project might not have a fabulous layout, but what can you do? If I end up having to quickly slap things into a file then that's how it will be. I figure the real benefit and challenge of the project is to produce a coherent series of shots - I can always take time after the rush and scurry of those 31 days to build it into something more polished. But at least the project itself will have prodded me to produce a focused, purposeful body of work that I likely wouldn't have achieved without it.
