Getting food ready tonight, I looked down and liked the pose struck by this banana peel. So I shot it. Just with my phone. Even before I shot, I had two clear reasons for planning to run the image through Lo-Mob: 1) In living color, our counter is not photogenic; 2) The yellow of the banana peel would distract from the form of the banana peel.
Now that I have a moment, it would be nice to re-shoot the peel with my Nikon. I’d welcome sharper focus. But the peel is in our compost now. I could pull it out. I could contrive to recreate the scene. That would spoil it. The whole point was that I dropped the peel, looked down, and found it looking this way. That pleasant accident is what I wanted to document. The snapshot will do.
