Summer
Summer is full of traditions passed down through generations of youth culture. When I think of this season what comes to mind as an adult is the heat and long days working outdoors but I remember back when the summer meant time in the woods, cold rivers and streams, camping, road trips, time to explore and enjoy the wistful landscape of time free from obligation.
In that spirit, YoungDoo and I found ourselves with a day off and decided to take advantage by taking Milla out swimming in a lake for the first time and, as I mentioned a post or two ago, I am doing all I can to keep an eye out for those delicate moments hiding in plain sight, ready to capture as a photograph. The image here are from just such a moment, the afternoon light sneaking into the lower level of a boathouse where you pay your dues to get into the lake area. It smelled of moisture, moss, and showers. A familiar cool, damp smell that’s hard to forget. A scene that captured a little forgotten corner of my youth that I thought some of you may appreciate as well. Enjoy!

Hello John,
thank you for making me think of that smell – your photography is emotional on its own, but combined with the memory of that smell, it made me smile and think of past summers.
Hello,
I’m just making this comment here because this is the most recent update on that blog, but way back you brought attention to a bug where iOS unnecessarily zooms in on wallpapers when the home screen is in landscape orientation, even when the wallpaper is 1:1.
I’m writing because Apple may have finally fixed this problem in iOS11. Since updating I’ve noticed all my 1:1 wallpapers no longer zoom in landscape home screen on my 6 Plus, and that’s with parallax turned on.
Thanks, keep up the good work.
