About light
We all know that a great photograph displays great lighting. A great photo captures something ethereal, and becasue we are visual beings, it’s what we first see that gives us clues to the moment. Dramatic lighting transmits these clues.
So why would we want to limit the light, or shut it out of our image? There are a few great reasons, but none more obscure than that of what i call “stationary movement.”

I’m going to enjoy the sun today – headshots in the exchange. Have a great weekend and rememember your ABCs. (Always Bring Camera!)
Back to “normal”
Some things are getting back to normal, but it’s not our weather! Still freezing, and stoking that old wood stove – in JUNE!!!
I’ve had enough. Normally bad weather is good for photography – it’s moody, brooding. It’s got “ambiance.” But I do need a change of scenery.
There’s a little set of islands in the middle of the South Pacific, the Pitcairn Islands, 4100 miles from Panama, and the farthest place from anywhere else in the world. Only 50 people live there. It’s a seven-day trip via freighter from New Zealand. The lowest temperatures ever recorded are around 10 °C, the highest 34 °C. On average, August is the coldest month (19 °C) while February is the warmest (24 °C). Sounds like paradise to me!
