May 31, 2025 By logann 24mm 1/1000 f5.0 ISO6400 The future is weird. It’s non-tangible, almost impossible to predict. Like an overexposed camera, the future in all its possibilities can feel overwhelming. But hope can still endure. I have hope that there will be instruments to make life interesting. I hope that there will be a place to sit down and rest. I hope that a gentle breeze comes by once in a while to push me whichever direction. I hope a light stays alongside me, waiting to be turned on. And I hope that a window stays uncovered, open to the scenery beyond. Life can be observed, and life can be lived. That flat, blown-out white is a canvas. And art is exactly what I’m in the mood for.

I achieved this by placing the “evil” jack o' lantern pot in the foreground. It appeared larger and imposing, despite only being about half the size of the other pot in reality.

By logann 50mm 1/50 f22 ISO200 My backyard has undergone a pretty significant transformation in the time I’ve lived at my current house. A few trees were cut down, large patches of grass were dug out, and the majority of the greenery was replaced with plastic tarps and cut granite slabs. But through the years, through the changes, this orange tree has endured as my backyard’s small piece of nature.

By logann 24mm 1/50 f4.5 ISO2000 I feel that there’s a lot of introspection required to refine a piece of music. Reflected in the mirror is the sheet music you spend time interpreting.
