Sideways, Still Worth It March 7, 2026
The end of the week went a little sideways. Nothing major, just enough to cut into the time I usually set aside for photography and editing. I wasn’t feeling 100%, but my photo adventure companion had a new lens that needed to be put through its paces, so we went anyway. We made good time…
