This is a patch of Dame's Rocket blowing in the wind and photographed with a long exposure time. It's my photographic attempt to emulate Monet and his lilies. And while it might not be as good, it sure took a lot less time to make.

Very interesting photo! According to wikipedia, the plant is also known as "Good'n'plenty."

This is really cool. As soon as I saw the image before reading anything I thought, "Monet!"

I started blogging in 2002 at my own site. In 2004 I got hired by the Washington Monthly and then moved to Mother Jones in 2008, where I blogged and wrote for the print magazine for 12 years. Finally, in 2021, I came full circle, leaving MoJo to once again blog at my own site.

Prior to blogging, I was vice president of marketing for Kofax Image Products, a software company in Irvine, California. I’m married, no kids, two cats. In 2014 I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a cancer of the bone marrow. It’s currently incurable, but modern treatments are pretty good and I remain alive and hopeful that a cure is on the way.
