It's been seven or eight years since I abandoned my entrenched adherence to traditional film photography for the digital universe . . . thus after several years of coveting -- and thanks to birthday gift funding assistance, today I treated myself to the purchase of a sparkling new Canon 100mm f/2.8 Macro EF lens.
I spent the afternoon today -- which was cold, extremely windy and prone to unpredictable and frequent downpours -- at home becoming acquainted with my new favorite tool; the first series of experiments were devoted to a burning incense stick and the various patterns of smoke flowing heavenward from its ember tip.
For your consideration then: a modest study of a quiet scene of grace and tranquility (and yet another example of the Principle of Impermanence).
