I noticed a little “face” in this weathered plank of wood – knots for eyes, a small, tired mouth. Years of rain, sun and pressure have carved out something strangely human. It reminded me of a line from a prayer by Joshua Luke Smith: “You are both a work of art, and an artist at work.”

Out for a few minutes walk before meeting Favourite Middle Daughter for a before work coffee from Roc and Floss at the market. I was able to capture a short video demonstrating how to use existing objects to cut the lens flare that occurs from bright light entering the lens at the wrong angle - this is usually sunlight, but can also be streetlights etc.

Not a simple photography tip as such, but more like life inspiration through Photography and Words—a mix of visual with sometimes meaningful reflections. Do you know anyone for whom this is true, perhaps you? Let me know, I'd be interested.
