I posted this one a few years ago under the title "Fruit Thief". But as with many (or maybe most) of the images I posted some years ago, the link to the photo was broken as I updated my website hosting parameters. An avocado is a fruit, isn't it? (Perhaps one of our botanists can confirm.)...
Céret, France.
I realize its a conceit, but I like to think the serendipitous ascent of the dove as I snapped this photo renders something a little bit surreal, perhaps in homage to the great surrealist.

The Olympus XA series of cameras (specifically the ones I have used--which is to say XA, XA2 and XA3) can have a very touchy shutter release. I think this image may be the result of me accidentally tripping the hair-trigger shutter of my XA3. I otherwise have no explanation for it.

I've shot a few rolls with it. I made this image on one...

In baseball parlance a "changeup" is a pitch intended to fool the batter into thinking a fastball is on the way, when in fact the pitch thrown is much slower. The ruse is based on the pitcher's motion which is...
