Once you start seeing faces in the sand, it’s hard to stop.

Sad Baboon
Carl Wasburn State Park, Oregon
2023

Was seeing a face in the sand what compelled me to photograph these rocks in the sand? I don’t recall, but I do know that the interpretation of it as a baboon shedding a tear came just now as I was working on the photo.

Some crates containing art work waiting to be hung at a new exhibit at the Holter Museum of Art. Given the direction of contemporary art in the last couple of decades (at least), perhaps it’s not surprising that I see artistic compositions in things at museum that weren’t intended to be art installations.

This broken bolt and washer had been laying on this old hunk of wood on our porch for a number of days before I realized it was a Koala bear starring at me. Or maybe it was Big Bird? I’m confused.

The Fashion Queen gets most of the credit for this composition. She set up a lovely centerpiece of miscellaneous treasures on the table when we had visitors one day. Later I skootched the items over to make room for something I was doing and noticed that, even after the haphazard skootching, it still had considerable photographic potential.
