Dead Fly

Okay, I'll admit it. I'm not only desperate, I'm pathetic! I've scrounged around the house looking for something to shoot and I've lowered my standards to even considering gross looking dead flies.
This poorly departed one was found between the track of our kitchen storm window and looking at him, he's been departed for quite some time. I guess this is what I will look like when someone decides to dig me up someday.

It's been a year since I retired and I developed a passion for macro photography in the field where I would go nearly everyday hunting for insects to photograph.
Life was colorful and grand. Then came fall and the insects outdoors became scarce. When winter arrived, they were all but non-existent. Now came the snow and I'm having withdrawal symptoms for I have become addicted so I need a fix of any kind.

Boarder line avericious. I see a decline, ten pics, then twenty, thirty, then who knows how many a day. Soon homeless, sourounded with thousands in camera gear and Bud wondering what happened.
Should we continue, in good faith, to enable you?😀
Dentist day. Less teeth and money, more pain. Sleep now.

Well, in spite of your disparaging description, it seems to have potential to become an important body of work if you'd devote yourself to it exclusively for the next year or so, taking two pictures a day, one each in the early morning and again in evening light when the warm tones and shadows are best, and making a timelapse video of it. Entomologists the world over could benefit from having a beautifully done timelapse to study and to use as a teaching aid for all future bug experts. Correctional facilities could use it and force negligent homeowners to watch it as punishment for not cleaning out their storm widows, as insecticide makers make tv commercials extolling the virtues of their existence, and refrigerator manufacturers could use excerpts from it in commercials to show the gradual disintegration of raw meat that isn't kept in their refrigerators.
The video could even go viral and you might win the Youtube "man of the year award" and maybe even win a Nobel Peace Prize and be the envy of all the past Presidents but perhaps the one least deserving. That's how it all starts, just one little disgusting picture of a dead fly. I would even suggest that you quit wasting your time bothering to log in and post more pictures here on uhh lest someone steal one of your images and ruin your chances. We lowlife members of uhh don't even deserve to be in the same company of such an important social phenomenon as you when all this transpires. Now, go, with all haste, run like the wind, ask not what your disgusting dead fly can do for you but ask what you can do for those who like disgusting dead flies. Go, meet your destiny, reap all your just rewards for creating this one small step for man and one giant step for dead bug lovers everywhere, and Godspeed." dilly. dilly!

Well done. There must be some plant life around somewhere or house plants from the shop to give you some solace.
