Purist schmurist...doesn't matter how you get there, there end result is stunning. I'm a Dooce reader and have been catching up on the archives (I'm up to November 2004). Both you and Heather are brave in your honesty and I don't think you will ever know how much your experiences have touched and helped so many people around the world. Life throws crap at everyone but it helps me to really know that, and I can only know that when people are honest in sharing the reality of their situations. I'm finding it hard to articulate this, so anyways... just know that I respect your honesty and words and wish you and your family all the best, and am sending love from the other side of the world.

Meds and therapy changed my life - after years of thinking it must be my fault, I feel free. Your writing has gone from C to A+ in the last few years -(Sorry - I'm also a former English teacher) but I don't know quite how else to explain that it sounds as if you are writing from your center more. It's clearer, more convincing, less tentative It's just a pleasure to read. (I can't believe my nerve in making these comments - but because you take such risks in revealing yourself, I feel braver.

I definitely want one. LOVE the tone. It gives it such a mood. Also just wanted to support you on your depression talk. You're doing the right thing. There is no reason to ever suffer without help. I do hope I don't pass it on to my husband though...poor guy, he's been through enough. My story (well, the depression part) is accounted here http://raisingtwins.wordpress.com/2007/10/04/suicide/ Amazing work on this image. lensbabies (would that be the plural??) are crazy cool.

When I saw this one I was dying to know how you took such an insane pic (yeah, I heard gullible is not in the dictionary) so I feel just a teeny bit less jealous that you manipulated it. i guess i am a “purist” but am in love w/ most of your pics.

Everytime I have myself convinced that I really don't need a lensbaby you go and post something fabulous like this and I'm back to square one. Great work. The type of image that impels me to strap on the baby bjorn and get out there with the camera. Aw Jon.
