Today’s photo came as I was walking to the office after lunch. The wind was blowing, the sun was shining, and I looked at my Bodum french press and realized what a great photo was sitting here, in my hand. I set it on the sidewalk, and began experimenting with composition.

Nikon D200, 50mm lens. 1/125sec at f/8.0, ISO 100.
