It's all a blur...

I'm too tired to blog today, and so am again falling back on that lovely rule in TV journalism: good pictures can salvage even the weakest of stories.

So consider the above photo to represent Sydney swinging in to save the day.

As someone who's taken photography classes in the past, it's cool to upload my photos into the computer and discover one like this in the mix. Admittedly, it'd be more impressive if I knew exactly what I had done to achieve this effect: Sydney, in motion, remains in focus, while the background is a blur. I think I was unintentionally moving the camera at the same pace she was swinging. It seems to me that was a technique I learned in a class long ago.

If that's not it, then I will have to fall back on TV journalism rule #2: It's better to be lucky than good.
