queen of backfocus

in this photographic kingdom, flaws are shires ruled by a monarchy of shooters. overthought metaphors aside, today's assignment made it clear that i'm really good at focusing on the wrong fucking thing. the nikon camera the paper gave me makes it too easy for me to inadvertently change the focus point and shoot 100 frames without noticing.

but it was a good day and i still made it out with something solid.

the stavley family lost their house in a fire. michael stavley was at home with his three kids when it happened. he pulled them out just in time. they had to spend sometime at the hospital for burns and smoke inhalation. they live off kathy stavley's wage from her job at publix. hospital employees heard their story and rallied the community to donate about three truckloads of stuff for their new rental home. the oldest daughter, karen, was the most emotional today when they were presented with all the stuff. she talked about the day they lost everything they owned.
