These are political cartoons I collect via the Washington Post. I love well-drawn and sharply conceived political cartoons. Before you jump to a typical conclusion, I’m an Independent. I’m one of those voters who believe the candidates should be qualified for the position they’re running for. In other words I (try to) vote on merit, but that sure is tough these days. At a much earlier point in my life I’d clip them out of the newspapers and put them in a cardboard box to pull them out later and appreciate them again. Here’s my digital cardboard box collection over the past week.

All of these touch on so many subjects I’m concerned with. These cartoons wrap up my feelings so neatly in just a single image. I wish I could do this.

I’m working with every camera I have in my possession as much as possible, especially the camera built into the iPhone 6s Plus. Both of these were taken using the iPhone within walking distance during lunch today, one at a local Wendy’s and the other at a Pollo Tropical. I’ve been influenced in part by Miksang contemplative photography, and more significantly by Matthew Robertson of Toronto Canada. It’s Matthew that got me interested in reading the Miksang book “Looking and Seeing.” I’ve tried, on and off, to follow the philosophy but it seems I don’t quite get it. I certainly appreciate the work of those that do, such as Matthew.

Regardless, there are times in Florida where the broad daylight is glorious. This was one of those days, and I happened to see these two perspectives. In a way I don’t care if their “official” Miksang or not.
