I'm a bachelor this month so I was going through old boxes of stuff to decide what to throw away. My 18 month son has a Pentax K2 in his toy box. I once had 5 pentax bodies in for repair--and they wrote me to tell me they were so beat up I should buy new ones--that's when I switched to Nikon--I've had up to three bodies in the shop but they haven't written me letters. A carpenter treats his tools better than I do.
Anyway, I found this "old"! filter in the junk--and I saw the alone assignment a few days ago. And then I realized that my obsession with sun shots was really symbolic of this. Until my relationship with Natasha and our son I have always felt isolated in a crowd. Like the sun, surrounded by a million galaxies, insulated by the vacumn of space. The prism effect is indicative of the energy and beauty we each possess. The leaves a cushion of spirit and friends that surround all of us, protecting us even when we ignore them.
