Just a week until the Solstice so the daylight is in short supply but today was so overcast it seemed like I was on another planet! What I take for granted.
One of the pleasures of photography is seeing the same scenes throughout the year. I’ve long wanted to make and merge together into a time-lapse sequence photographs of the same scene made throughout the year. Having seen some of these done very well—and realizing the work involved—I’m not sure the effort on my part would warrant the result.
But what fun to look back through my stored images and find crocus blooming or young leaves of American Beech unfurling or July clouds billowing or a spectacular sunset I saw on a trip. Notthat I’m advocating being here another time!
And one of the benefits of a gray day—with the light that is very challenging for making a new photograph—is finding time to look over past work. I’d need more gray days than I’d like to get through all the images I have stored and not yet viewed! Clearly I love making photographs more than I do processing the images. So it goes. Thank you gray day.
