Imperfect Light

What does it mean when your fortune cookie contains no fortune?

At f/1.2, who needs fortunes?

Focus.

The 85mm opens wide and the background melts away like ice cream in the tropical heat, revealing a thin, fragile plane of the visual realm.

A connection is made; nothing else matters.

Roslyn Place is a unique street in Pittsburgh paved by wood blocks. When I found myself there with my little optical wunderkind, I glanced upwards and became captivated by the illumination above.

The cool, delicate colors of the sky contrast beautifully with the warm glow of the street lights on the telephone pole. The blurry flecks of light known as stars hang like snowflakes that never fall.

It’s a great feeling to be able to capture exactly what you are seeing.

And now it’s something more.

How do you make a picture of a cat look good? You could add a lol-caption… or you can take it with the 85mm f/1.2 L, and let the magic happen.

Add some dusk, with a hint of sunset, and your amygdala starts to twitch.
