translucency

taken with my phone

I am coming to like the fact that I never *quite* know what I am going to get when I use my phone camera, since there is a weird delay, a weird distortion, and it is always darker, fuzzier, grainer than I expected. So sometimes, I hold it up and away and take an image just to see what I get. Somehow taking away my expectations by not even looking makes a bit of room for some happy surprises.

Gets me thinking: what other things might my expectations/plans be inhibiting? what might I be feeling less-than about because it did not match my preconception or vision, when, maybe (just maybe) viewed independently of the wish, maybe (just maybe) there is value there, unexpected and unacknowledged delight, some sort of  happy surprise.
