the smell of my desperation has become a stench
Heather B. Armstrong
Hi. I’m Heather B. Armstrong, and this used to be called mommy blogging. But then they started calling it Influencer Marketing: hashtag ad, hashtag sponsored, hashtag you know you want me to slap your product on my kid and exploit her for millions and millions of dollars. That’s how this shit works. Now? Well… sit back, buckle up, and enjoy the ride.

2005/01/11 at 5:02 amWould this be the piece of sky from which the Mormon General Authority likes to make His/Her pronouncements?

2005/01/11 at 5:04 amgorgeous! did you adjust levels to make it that blue or is it really like that?
kristal

maria
2005/01/11 at 5:04 ami love that the houses are bathed in that beautiful blue. and the fact that you can see forEVER into the distance. great shot!
Bekah
2005/01/11 at 5:05 amI definitely agree with Maxigumee that the sky looks “clean”… We can’t blame Utah for the hole in the ozone layer, now can we?

Nice effect though.
Miss Kimberley

Yeah, it was a small town.

Allyson
2005/01/11 at 5:11 amand then does god come down through the incandescent light when you’re off white balance?
christy
2005/01/11 at 5:11 amWhy is the sky bigger there than in Illinois? Boohoo.

mrs. george #2
2005/01/11 at 5:19 amEerily pretty. The clouds look angry and I think G.O.D. might have something to say about that.
Oh, and that was like the BEST FIRST COMMENT, EVER.
Ana
2005/01/11 at 5:22 amBeautiful picture.
Michelle
2005/01/11 at 5:23 amYou’ve captured how ‘tall’ the sky seems out west…as a recent transplant, just walking outside at the right time of day to view _that sky_ awes me. Great photo!
Erin
2005/01/11 at 5:24 amIs that picture untouched or have a dooce effect of some sort on it? It’s amazing!
Girl.A
2005/01/11 at 5:24 amShoop! That is eeeeery.
Complex values. Likey.
Brianna
2005/01/11 at 5:26 amGah, why bother with cyanotypes when you get all that beautiful blue digitally?
HoneyBunny
2005/01/11 at 5:26 amthat’s a gorgeous photo. i love the darkest part of the sky.
i don’t know if you care or not, but that guy who was stalking/harassing/threatening me was fired from his job yesterday. he wasn’t ‘dooced’ though. i see being ‘dooced’ as a positive thing. this ass got what he deserved 🙂
anyway, keep on being heather and keep loving jon, chuck, and leta. you’ve got a great life, constipation and all 🙂

2005/01/11 at 5:27 amNever thought I would say this, but I think I might want to come to Utah. 🙂
Karry
2005/01/11 at 5:28 amwas this taken with a filter or was it ‘shopped to look like this?
very pretty, but almost too blue.
Melanie S
2005/01/11 at 5:29 amThat’s it! I’m moving to Utah. I’ll kidnapp GEORGE! and force him to return too.
Wicked H
2005/01/11 at 5:30 amMesmerizingly bewitching.
Thanks Dooce!!!
Karry
2005/01/11 at 5:30 amactually forgive my last comment – just read your explanation of why it’s so blue.
A happy mistake! I still like the image tho… 🙂
Alex
2005/01/11 at 5:31 amDid you add some saturation to that, or is it that naturally blue?
Alex
2005/01/11 at 5:32 amNevermind. I read the answer.
