near...

...far.

Isn't there a Sesame Street snipit with Grover running back and forth saying "near...far....near...far"?

Why yes, yes there is.

I have always been very fond of Grover.

Many weeks ago Bean and I were outside and we discovered a little stick figure family on the blacktop across the street. I told her to "make friends" with them, and these snapshots where those moments.

I was wishing I had owned a better wide angle lens to pan out and catch the entire scene, like I was a bird in the sky, but alas I was stuck with my 5'8'' of height and a semi-wide angle lens. The near/far thing was not even a part of thinking this day, I was simply trying to capture varying perspectives. Which is always a fun practice, composing at every distance. Try it sometime.

It's been about thirty-five years since I last saw this clip of Grover. Time has traveled so far since then, but he is still so very near to my heart. (That was such a bad line.) He was always one of my favorites.

Gonna go get Bean and have her watch him with me one more time...
