Photography And Half-Thoughts By Mitchell Hegman

...because some of it is pretty and some of it is not.

Not All Who Wander Are Lost

The best gifts are those given just because someone thought about you when they saw something—a trigger that evoked enough thought or emotion that they had to share what they found. Such is the case for a t-shirt given to me by my friends Tom and Patti Russ. When giving me the shirt, Patti said something to this effect: “This is a random gift for no reason.”

Anyone who knows me well knows that I am hard-wired to hunt for rocks wherever I go. This is a constant feature of my personality. As a case in point, I snuck home two specimens on my recent trip to the Philippines. Given this, Tom and Patti gave me a shirt with this printed on the front:

NOT ALL WHO WANDER ARE LOST
SOME ARE LOOKING FOR COOL ROCKS

Good stuff, this!

Thank you, Tom and Patti. I am posting a photograph of me wearing the shirt while holding onto a couple of cool rocks.
