Ketching Up (Lensbaby)

This photo of mine from months ago is suddenly getting dozens and dozens of views on Flickr out of completely nowhere. It seems to be the last thing uploaded to the Flickr pool The 101 ways to make ketchup. Anyone know, was that group was posted on Digg or something?

A note about the pic. It was a test shot using that dumb Lensbaby “selective focus” lens that I can’t stand. The selective colorization was very sloppy, too. Ugh. I did this setup specifically for the Ketchup pool. I wanted to do something a little brighter with more negative space, but I just couldn’t find the right setup. I was having a bad night in general, from the grocery store getting the tomatoes on forward.

Why can’t I stand the Lensbaby? I’m just no good with it. For some reason, I just can’t see the picture I want to be taking with it. It’s like my brain is on a different wavelength. I’ll hang onto the lens for another seven years when I’ll (hopefully) experience some flip in my brain chemistry and I’ll get it.

   or you could just send it to me now, and see if it works better with my brain?
