I'm happy with the reaction, though admittedly when it gets this low I wish it would just get a brown.
This is indeed a reflection, though not a funhouse mirror per se. It was the shiny core of the carousel/swing thingey. As to "capturing" exuberance, well, to be honest I'm really creating exuberance. I have a "normal" photo of the same woman and she's not the least bit exuberant, I promise you. hahahaha

When I relax and stop trying to figure out what this is, I am able to enjoy the pure beauty of the colors, shapes, and light. And after that, I see a child on a swing.
In a bit of a turn of events, Johnny simply never saw it coming. As his vision horribly blurred, his mind focused on that last drink. He should have known it was too good to be true. What lady buys a guy a Smirnoff Ice?
