looking for opportunities and it could go either way. at least mentally. the
needle's standing straight up and quivering. i saw two boys running down the
street with a soccer ball. thought about wandering outside to restack the
woodpile where its toppled under a few snows. filling canisters in the
kitchen. there's nothing to do for hours yet but search like a tongue after a
missing tooth for private seizure. i could hang my damp underclothes on the
rail outside until they're almost dry and then put them on my feet and hiney
still a little damp and cold as a puppy's nose, see if that wakes me up. i
could sit here and write some more about donnie barksdale. i could stare at
the blank white wall and meditate on industry or anthills, or watch god dance
inside the candleflame. it smells good in here, so that's nice, that's always
nice. a good start. maybe water would be good, a hot bath. pampering
equalling working in the long run as it should be. the cat's out of food but i
pacified her with some half & half in a custard cup. we're all feeding
quarters to the time machine... there's the mailman, see ya later.

: it's overcast and cloudy here, the kind of day you want to pace around in,
Wintry ice and snow can be good for a few things, for example, taking
gorgeous pictures. I **love** this one:

Wouldn't the sun have been shining directly into the lens from
above the fence, though? The fence blocks the sun so there's
enough light to show details, not too much light.
I wish the camera could faithfully capture what we see without
overly compensating for small areas of bright light, but isn't that
rather difficult to master? If I tried to take the picture over the
fence there I know I'd most likely get a big blob of sunlight and
everything else would be too dark -- no matter how I tried to
compensate with camera adjustments. What kind of filter would
you use for blotting out excess light?
Cameras can't capture snowfall very precisely, either. Or rain.
Both can look so *beautiful* in real life but the camera can't
modify clarity as well as the eye can. Yet. Darn it.

my hand.
all you have to do is frame the shot the way you want, ignoring the sun, then
move your hand around about a foot above the lens until the reflection or
sundog on the lens disappears. practice - it nearly always works.
as for too much light washing out your picture, that can be controlled with
film speed. just use a low one, 100, and/or back away from the subject and
zoom in. the more fiddling, the more fun it is.

no it really can't unless you just happen to come upon the right kind of
conditions. i've seen lots of beautiful natural snow scenes that feel so crisp
and colorful, but when you take the pic they just look borink. what i try to
do is focus, literally and mentally,on small scale shapes. like, rain dotting
a puddle making bubbles, or icicles, or the character of snowmen, or the drifts
of snow that have fallen on a tree branch or a roof -- anything that looks
cool. B&W is an excellent "snow" medium since snow is *so* white. a nice way
to capture the feeling of rain is to shoot a wide vista with a very pastel-ish
film like fuji *before* it really starts coming down. then you get
percussionary mist and i swear if you catch just the right moment, you can
smell rain by looking at the photo.
