Scene in the City. The first session
Most of the photos are just taken with my iPhone. I do cart a better camera around. Early on I took most of the shots that way. But I find it’s just easier to whip the iPhone out of my pocket, as I’m walking along, than it is to have to stop and dig around for the better camera in my shoulder bag and loose the moment. Mine mostly. Besides, these Scenes weren’t ever supposed to be for anything but a quick tweet. A few adjustments with Aviary and off they go into the Twitterverse.
Then somebody just said, “Oh, where do I buy the complete collection?” And I said, “Oh? On Twitter.” Yeah, Twitter… Twitter, of course, is utterly ephemeral. Tweet it and it’s gone. Sort of like the canary I had as a kid. Somehow the door slipped open. I still hope it wasn’t me. A couple of happy tweets and out the also-open window he went. Harry didn’t come back. God, I was kind of naive. I imagined that he’d found a new home in the park. Or maybe made it back to the Canaries. I hope he had a nice summer, at least.
So starting off on May Day, the tweets are here and it’s a continuous Scene in the City!
