Too many tomatoes to count

You may be wondering why today’s photo is of a large-ish collection of roma tomatoes.

It seems silly, even pointless, after all. Maybe even the kind of scene that doesn’t merit attention or pixels in the first place.

Once upon a time that’s what I might have believed. But no longer.

See, there’s no shortage of seriousness in today’s universe. Headlines scream loud enough to be heard above the others, each one more ominous than the last. A simple photowalk reveals new homeless encampments spilling out of the forest. Worry creeps in amid the quiet of night.

So we take silly, pointless photos of stupid, pointless subjects. Because the smiles they spark - or even the quiet moment away from the seriousness of the real world - are anything but silly or pointless.
