It's cold out!

We went out to a play the other night. Well, sort of a play. The bones of a play. It's called Blue-Eyed Hag by playwright Jim Lair Beard and was a proof of concept scripted reading through of a kind of a prequel to The Tempest. I really enjoyed it, and was wishing I could have used the camera, since there were some nice portrait photos happening. I'd been invited to it as teaser for the tour later this year, with them hoping to use our hall. Discussions will be ongoing. 

This is just a taste of what we saw on the way out.

It's got colder since then, down to the minus mid teens. I was actually out in it for a bit. I'd met up with BRBE (though neither of us are running any more) for coffee and to look at the recent book and prints. We had a wonderful chat! I've got to get out and do more of this. 

So much better than mindlessly scrolling through Facebook! Still logged out. Two days and counting. I was actually wondering if there's a support group to help Facebook addicts dealing with withdrawal. "Hello, my name is Keith, and I'm a Facebook addict. I've been clean for 2 days." "Hi Keith."

Afterward I took the scenic route to Carburn park, since other than being cold, the light was nice. I wasn't really dressed for it, but took a quick walk and got a couple photos, including one of mist over the Bow River that I hope turns out. I chatted to another photographer who was trying to get a photo of eagles. He and his camera were well dressed for the day, but his friend with binoculars was already looking cold.

Monday is supposed to be not so cold, so maybe I'll wear some ice cleats and go back, better dressed. If the light is nice, of course. That's part of the problem with trying to get better photographs, is that we can't control the light, and that's an important part of a good photo.
