Third in my high contrast series.
This was my view as I opened my eyes one Saturday morning in 2006. I lived in my long
moved out daughter’s white wicker bedroom since my father was given my downstairs
bedroom when he moved in in September of 2005.
I loved the high contrast and cool air of that scene and I immediately woke up and got
my camera and crawled back into bed to get the shot.
Continuing on with my high contrast series.
Came to work back in 2006 to find we had a black out after a big storm. Couldn’t work
in my office since it has no windows and is in the tornado shelter hallway, VERY dark.
I walked around taking some photos of students studying under some of the emergency
lights that were on.
I find that I love taking high contrast images so I thought I would share a couple for the next week or two.
This was our favorite breakfast diner, where my father and I would go each month before we had our hair cut. Sometimes we would go after, and actually it isn’t usually at dawn.
But the place is packed with locals wanting good food and a crew of waitresses who say ‘hon’ and ‘sweetie’ when addressing you.
Stop sign #5 – I don’t have time.
Answer: How much time does it take to snap a photo of yourself behind the wheel
waiting in traffic, the full kitchen sink, the beautiful toy in the sunlight in your
kid’s room. It isn’t time you are lacking, it is imagination and decisiveness. Keep
your camera with you. If you have a big honkin cadillac of a camera, then get your
phone out when you are on the go. FIND A WAY to take the photo!
This photo was at a local diner. It took no more than 20 seconds to get my camera on
the table, take the shot, review the shot and put the camera back down on my seat. It
isn’t time you are lacking.
That little cloud coming down is what you might see when a tornado is forming. It was about a few miles away I figure, but it wasn’t anything to worry about we could tell. Turned out to just be a thunder and lightning show for us, the scary stuff was farther north.
