No matter how much new gear I get, I always manage to go back to my first love: the Fuji XE1. You can get these for peanuts online. Colour rendition, control, toughness all second to none. With a relatively inexpensive pancake 27mm it’s the perfect go everywhere camera.
Through the woods
in late afternoon in autumn
as the colours
drain brown
stain water
humus
over broken
branches
all bark-stripped
smoothworn
they blindly rush
hoping
the leaf-slick
deer-run
leads them away
from dusk
hanging low
so soon
to the hollow
where the
flask of scotch
was hid

Some experimenting below. I thought it may be interesting to append to this post. This would be a good exercice à la Beckett to achieve that “detached” vibe in one’s writing.
I did not start the day expecting to hike for an hour or two, but an errand brought me close to a Provincial Park so I popped in. After a long, boring, nothing-to-do kind of day, this excursion totally reinvigorated me. A change of scenery — and some good old nature — does so much good.
I’ve been meaning to stop and take shots of these for a long time. Conditions were just right, so I pulled over and snapped a few pictures.
