A week or so from when this posts, Ann and I will be in Portugal. What better way to celebrate that than to do a post of images taken with my iPhone during our flight back from Portugal in January? Well, there’s probably a lot of better ways to celebrate, but this will have to do. My apologies for the quality of the images. Believe me, they do not do the experience of them justice. I could blame the fact that my monitor is not calibrated, there’s been an update to Capture One, that I haven’t used Capture One or done anything really photography-related in 3 months, or the fact that I’m a crappy photographer. Set all that aside; the reality is that these images are a reminder to always pay visual attention to the world around you. Oftentimes you’ll be glad you did.

You must be thinking, “Wow, what’s gotten into him?” And you would be right. Two posts in two days. Well, yesterday was my birthday and despite the fact that it was a quarantine birthday (which meant it had to be an at-home affair) and the fact that Ann couldn’t do her usual incredible gift giving (she really does find the coolest things to get me) because we pretty much have our bags totally packed so . . . how could I take anything to Portugal with me, I got one of the best presents I could have possibly gotten this birthday. So what could that have been?
