Today’s Photojojo is a simple combination of fruit and electronics. Nancy’s photo of Simply Fruit from Costco pairs nicely with mine of circuit boards taken from a sculpture at Ft. Mason over the weekend.

It’s Monday after a long, long weekend and back to work it is. On my way out this morning, I snapped another photo of Snow White and her seven little friends, this time with the Diana lens. This is paired with Nancy’s Thanksgiving dinner hostess, who appears ready to carve up the Butterball.

I went on a nice hike today at Wunderlich Park. We went about 3.5 miles round trip and up to 1,200 feet. It felt so good to be out in the crisp Fall air and exercising again. I took my camera, with the new Diana lens, on the walk. I had taken some photos last night with it that were not very good. I was anxious to see how it performed in the daytime.

The Diana lens is designed for getting dreamy retro shots. It was a bit ironic that I have this very expensive Canon 40D camera that I’ve now attached a $60 lens to so that I can get crappy quality photos. But I do like the look of these photos – with smeared and funny colors – and they are the opposite of what this camera can do which is crisp, extremely high res photos with colors that are to die for.

This is just another option, and one that I am loving. Here are some of today’s shots take at the park while on the hike.

Today’s Photojojo is a photo of the pier by Nancy, paired with Jenny Kompolt’s fatbaby boots. I visited Jenny’s booth at the Celebration of Craftswomen/Ft. Mason today. Jenny’s assemblage work is amazing and lovely, plus she does a great service out there in the world raising money for causes through her business Kompolt.com.
