Folded with care
Inside our hotel room in Blowing Rock yesterday, the folded towel in the bathroom immediately arrested my eye.
Steve, No, not the new camera. I took my DSLR and nothing more. I need to do some Photoshopping of the photo, to make all of the background that rich, dark shadow. I was too tired last night and wanted to hurry something to post. I have since realized, of course, that the towel seemed much more beautiful in the moments of my first seeing it than [the photo of] it does now. The towel may have been folded with care, but far from folded to perfection. I think I was struck by the fact of a poorly paid, menial worker's having taken the care.
Nice. Was that taken with the new camera?
