 Something
in Her Hand
My wife had something in
her hand and I had her in my eye,
and all those colors. The photo on
the wall is by local photographer
Roberta Perkins.

 Big
Snow
The only way I've found to photograph
in a heavy snow is to carry an umbrella.
Even then, the camera gets wetter than
I'd like, and people seeing me think
I'm addled, that I can't tell the difference
between rain and snow. Here's a neighbor
in front of our house.

 Driving
in the Fog
This photo was taken by a professional.
Do not try this in your own vehicle unless
you have experience eating a hamburger,
talking on your cell phone, and adjusting
your radio while driving. If you have
mastered those arts, taking a photo while
driving is just as safe.

 Frost
in the Bathroom Window
One of the delights of one-pane windows
is that frost forms on them. The bathroom
gets cold, but beautiful, especially
if you look closely.
|
 Icycles
Our warm house melts the snow on the roof,
which forms three-foot long icycles as
it runs off.

 Jack
Sledding
My neighbor has retired and has
much more fun than me, who can
barely remember having a sled.

 Ranger
Sandwich
I love the abstract patterns that road
ice, snow and wet produce on the sides
of vehicles. In this case, I cheated,
by sandwiches two photos of my Ford
Ranger together so they overlap.
|
 Soup
Night
People come to eat the soup, not to
be photographed. On a typical Thursday
night in winter, 25 to 30 people arrive
with bread, wine, salad, desserts,
and other comestibles. If this sounds
good to you, I highly recommend you
give it a try. All you need is a large
pot and a determination equal to my
wife's. It also helps to have lots
of soup bowls and spoons, often found
at garage sales.

 Gild
Hall in the Snow
Yes, I removed the electrical wires
to give this a 19-century feel. So
shoot me! (with a camera, please.) |
