gifts from unexpected circumstances

I've crawled out from under my rock and have discovered shooting + editing + posting of photos all from my iphone. Sometimes difficult circumstances gift us in unexpected ways...

My life has been busy and disorganized lately as I take care of an aging parent. Many days & nights in the hospital, at my mother's apartment, away from home, away from my camera, away from my laptop has actually given me the gift of discovering my phone's camera and all the unbelievable apps to EDIT photos on my phone. This idea (shoot + edit + post all on the phone) was not in my universe a couple of months ago.

This shot is blurry. On purpose. I have a slow shutter app on my iPhone and it gives me the most delicious blur. To my eye, blur is mystery. A reminder of of our lives in constant flux. Blurred images look like pieces of a dream. Fragments of thought. Things I'm not quite sure about. Blur draws me in.
