Recent reading: Hilary Mantel, Beyond Black. Finished in the Kinsmen Park, at twilight, overlooking Departure Bay, tide coming noisily in up the beach. Seated at a concrete picnic table just back of the seawall, thumbing through previews on the Nikon's battered display. Lots of busted flushes there; a higher-than-usual failure rate upped by intrusive power poles; by irritated homeowners who apparently don't accept magnolia photography as a legitimate art genre; and by my seeming inability to frame and compose images that don't read like reiterations of other photographers' better considered pictures. Nico's advice, as always, pertains: "Please don't confront me with my failures, I had not forgotten them."
