Daylight Saving Be Damned

11/5/2015

​There are no words for how wonderful the weather has been this week. It is what everyone is talking about. November and I am riding my bike like it was June.  It is sad that the sun leaves us very quickly in the afternoon. Too quickly. Daylight Saving Time be damned!

Character of Age

11/4/2015

0 Comments

 
I brought fall into my studio today to do a leaf study.  The age and frail coloring of the leaf reminded me of the character you can see in a person that has aged nearly a century. There is a beauty in this kind of character, the markings of distress, the wilting of the skin, the lines and crevices. They all make up a life's story. For the leaf, a mere season, for us, hopefully a century.

Too Perfect

11/3/2015

I said I wasn't going to take any more fall pictures. Well that lasted a day. I couldn't help it. This composition was too perfect for me to pass on. There is something about this picture that I love and I knew it even before I took it. It takes me away. I'll leave it to you to conjure up your own sense of time and place.

Peppers

I guess these are peppers, but I never saw anything like this before.  All different colors, all beautiful. I did some reading and they apparently change colors as they mature. From purple to orange to red.  Still need to know a lot more. How hot are they?  Should they stay outside? Which ones are best to eat?  Do I want to eat them? Should I cook them or eat them raw.  So many questions.

ColorChecker

11/1/2015

I just received my ColorChecker.  I bought it not only to help me with testing my camera, but more importantly, to help me adjust my monitors.  I use 4 computers to edit / develop photographs. A couple of windows desktops with 5 different monitors, a laptop and a MAC. Each monitor shows color a bit differently and that really impacts my photo developing.  I have begun to notice it more and more and it has become intolerable. I want to see the same photograph on every monitor,, no exception.
