The Formerly Sticky Post

[Ed note: This post is no longer sticky.]

Sticky!
This post is a "Sticky" post and will appear at the top of the stack this week. New posts appear below it, so don't be fooled.

Blurry!
Our "Call for Work" for the Baker's Dozen "Blur" Reader Portfolio is still live, through next Monday. We've gotten some fantastic blur shots so far. This one is going to be fun.

Passing the hat!
Want to help sweeten the "pot"? I set up a GoFundMe Page in case you want to throw a few more bucks into the prize fund (several people have offered). If we raise enough, I'll use the extra dough to add prizes to the next Baker's Dozen too.

I (Mike) will be editing the portfolio; the prizes will be awarded by our friend the Polymath of All Things Photographique, Hugh Crawford. Based on this recent photo he is obviously also a wizard:

I had suggested that he ought to wear a wig to be The Judge, but as you can see he already has all the hair anyone needs. Although he reports that the beard is getting a severe trim soon, for an upcoming trip. I'll have him send us an "after" picture if he's willing. People keep mistaking him for Rick Rubin.

Mike

P.S. Despite the disembodied thumb, the picture is not AI! It was taken with an iPhone in Pano mode.

Make the B&H gift a bit larger with the donations, as we all know, $100 doesn't go very far in photo gear... ;)

Looks like a Midjourney-generated image from the prompt: “Santa in a VW Minibus”!

The host of ABC Australias flagship primetime gardening program. He is beloved.

The photo will explain the relevance.

Amazing to think that a gardening tv show from the public broadcaster could have such a massive loyal viewership.

Cool pano! I really enjoy pano mode artifacts for some reason. By the way, "Pano" might be an interesting theme for a Baker's Dozen. Or if you think that's too, er, narrow a category, one could, eh, widen the field to something like, well, "Wide (as in Very) Angles", or perhaps "Vistas".

Classic 13-window VW bus Hugh has a ride in. Our family had one when we lived in Arizona in the '60s, but it didn't have the AC unit.
