Hurry Up Helen

            A Lensbaby photo presented in B&W of a man and woman crossing an intersection in downtown Nevada, Iowa. I’ve bent the lens to a hard left in this shot, catching the woman mostly in focus with the man starting to blur out-of-focus as the lens effect blurs to the right. In my mind’s eye, the lens effect almost makes it look like the man is going faster than the woman. It was about 7°F (-13°C) when I took this photo, so yes, hurry-up Helen, it’s cold out here!
