Choosing at leisure

Like many people, I use a rolling display of photos as a screen saver. In my case, they are a random sequence, usually drawn from unsorted recent shots. One consequence is that I might slowly grow to like a particular photo, and this one from Billabong two months ago is one of those.

I can also use it to familiarise myself with a big group of photos and at the moment I’m doing that with shots from Strand Ephemera, a public art show along our beachfront. It’s a great show this year and if you’re in Townsville you should get down to see it – soon, since it finishes on Monday.
