The first of which needs no exposition.

The second is that a batch of photos I emailed in last night was selected by Montana Headwall as worthwhile. When and which will be published I don’t know, but they’re sending me a $25 gift card to a camera shop.

The funny part is that all my prior efforts at publication, which revolved around high dollar slide film and a Nikon FM2, went for naught (granted, in higher standard markets). The present efforts (all from this summer, and seen here first) have been taken with the mighty blue Insignia, which was $60 on sale at Best Buy back in January.

Blame the person, not the gear, I suppose.

PS:

M just pointed out that Mr. Epic Designs is rapping down the fifty seventh page of the fall Patagonia catalogue. Talk about an outdoor status symbol!
