It was cold. It was foggy. It was dark. And yet I went out. It was fun and I'm glad I went. Even though I didn't have a camera with me, as I drove there and back I was thinking about how I'd capture images of the light and shadows on film. This is about the closest I've got to a hoarfrost photo just now.
The occasion was the gallery opening for Byron Robb. Sean had told me of him, and it, during our walk last week. Byron isn't a common name, and for whatever reason it sounded familiar. I was wondering if I'd run into him at a photography thing somewhere along the way.
As it turns out, no. Sean introduced us, and we chatted very briefly. I sipped my wine, enjoyed his photos, and chatted with some other guests that I happened to know. Not in that order, in case you were wondering.
His work is totally unlike anything I would do. I enjoyed it, and I think it was well done. I spent a bit of time with most of the pieces, enjoying the different perspectives and layered images. If you're in the area drop in and take a look.
One of the things I have to work at a bit is to look at photos that I don't like, or I don't "get". My thinking is that someone thought it was a good photo, good enough to print, frame, and hang on the wall of a gallery. It's more likely that several someones thought it was a good photo. I try to understand why. Maybe there's something I can bring to my photography.
I've got several more events on the calendar already, and I'm considering a couple of the workshops. Perhaps I'll see you at one of them.
Of the Day
Driftwood (NZ)
Film
Linda (and me)
The occasion is my last race, the Black Diamond to Millarville half marathon. It's been seven and a half years already. Wow.
Newfoundland
Polar bears
It paused for a second, looking up at us. The caption is, "I'm just a polar bear, looking for some lunch. Don't mind me. You could share, you know."
Why ever didn't I publish this, and maybe I did
90 days, or so ago
I can't believe that our Churchill trip was 3 months ago. All of a sudden I have only 25 photos in my 90 days folder. I'll have to get out and capture more.
