My favorite photo of 2025. Why? More the story than the picture. Walking home from an event I passed by the chair, paused, thought that’s a good companion for my fictional street couch, Blossom, kept walking. Half a block later I’m thinking am I nuts or what? not to take the photo. Turned around, got the shot, also picked up a 12-in splinter from a traffic barricade, and carried that home.
