Sorry, guys, but sometimes, it just will out ...

I really like this shot. The angle between the camera and the wall causes the focus to drift away as we head stage right. The shift in brightness goes the same way so the eye goes from dark focus into the bright bokeh. The bright area has that "pleasing to the eye" pattern on the bottom, just busy enough to be interesting. A journey for the eye. Maybe only a big treat for photonerds, but you did have the good sense to post it here.In a local southern Oregon coffee shop, one wall is devoted to Polaroid photographs of employees and friends.

It's indeed fascinating - but also pretty infuriating - that I have come up with the exact same metaphor for our situation ...That's good news indeed, Matt.
My friend and musical partner who still teaches put it like this when I asked him about the status quo:
"We're an open laboratory ... in field test, so to speak. And we teachers are the guinea pigs."
So keep your legs stretched and celebrate with the best medicine there is (bottled in Burgundy, Bordeau, Toscany, etc.).
