Warren, Connecticut. Every morning a different set of things is left out on my work table and every morning the sun makes an ever-changing pattern of shadows as it shines on them. Sometimes I just sit here, watching the patterns change while sipping coffee and listening to Morning Edition, I’m so mesmerized I don’t think to fire up the camera.

I left one of my blowers out to remind me to clean my 5D’s sensor today so it’s the lucky object. Even the most mundane things can be interesting when they cast a shadow and taking pictures is a lot more fun than sensor cleaning.

The most popular blower around is the apt named Rocket Blower.
