Here’s my story. So, I leave the coffee shop after a small mocha latte and a half cup of coffee. I knew I should use the restroom before I leave but because I was in a hurry I decided against it. (Did you notice all the “I’s” in that sentence? Sometimes it’s not such a good idea to listen to a caffeinated person.) Anyway, traffic back to the apartment was no problem but the beautiful sunshine was. I walk into the apartment and discovered the room filled with bright sunlight. Now we’ve just had gray skies and rain for the last 2 days so I am a bit excited. All I can see is the sunlight coming in on the lamp and casting its shadow on the wall. I tell myself I can wait! I imagine it was comical to watch me dance in the middle of the living room, grabbing my camera out of my bag and firing off a dozen shots and chimping to make sure there are not blown highlights. Got it! I put the camera down and off the to restroom I go. Oh, the decisions a photographer makes when good light appears. Anyone else have to make tough decisions like that?

LOL! That’s a bit too dedicated, but I’ve done it. I think that we know how fleeting those moments can be so we make sure to capture them even if it will be a bit inconvenient!

This one made me howl with recognition. Indeed, the situations we sometimes create for ourselves!

There’s a wonderful crispness to your writing and your images. Crispness as well as peace.

Thanks, Chris. I’ve never had anyone say that about my writing. Have to think about that, chew on it.
