Cold as can be, here.  Joint-aching cold, and windy, too.  I was outside around sunset playing with my new camera.  My fingernails are still throbbing.  <\/p>\n

\nThis one was an accident; I thought the windows were in focus, not the branches.  I set everything else manually, except the focus.  I figured the good ‘ol auto focus will just set up on the wall, and won’t even notice the skinny little branches.  I’m learning.  <\/p>\n

\nUsed to be, on really good days, some mundane thing would present itself to me as a vision, and I would wish I had a camera.  That was back before I did have a camera.  Such visions presented themselves as perfectly composed images that lacked only capture by a gentle hand.  It almost seemed that first there was a perfect image, then reality conspired to make its presentation in the physical world as if hoping that someone might find it, recognize and appreciate the beauty in it, and save it.  This made me want a camera.  <\/p>\n

\nI look at everything a little bit differently now, or maybe just a little more closely.  I see into things.  Even without a camera in my hand.  I look for light, for clarity, for perspective.  I am on the lookout now for images that would be orphans, produced by reality according to a truer, more perfect plan that exists outside of reality and casts itself like frozen branches into our view, hoping that we will see.  <\/p>\n
