Hello again. I have returned from the land of working on the house to find myself with some free time. Oddly it is valentines day and I am not spending it with my very special person. She is however enjoying a short holiday with our daughter and her mother. She has earned every minute of this so I do not begrudge her one second of it. They are in New York City, having just arrived it sounds like it is cold and so on but they are troupers and will weather it out. Nothing they are not prepared for. That has however left me to my own devices, my son and I anyway are left on our own. Bachelors for a week. What to do you say what to do? Well first off, clean the house. Yes chores came first, I am truly a boring guy but I am thinking tomorrow is more my time and I am hoping to do something with it. It is a holiday here so no working but to be honest I am sure I will be doing something very exciting, what that is we will see.
I want to move away from talking about remodelling and back to more what I have going on in my head. So since it is Valentines Day, I am thinking about how awesome it is to have a person that just simply loves you. I saw the Bloom County cartoon of opus and the mayfly. I think of all the cartoons I enjoyed Bloom County was one of my favourites. They political satire, they have all sorts of person demons to bemoan. But the valentines day cartoon to me why Love is and always will be something we can not live without. You can have food and water but I think love is also required. So check it out on Facebook folks it is an amazing image of Opus and the mayfly. It humbles me a bit as I think that my wife loves simplistically and wholly and that to me is amazing and truly something I never want to be without.
With Love out of the way I am turning my attention to time behind the lens again. I have taken very few images lately, mostly due to finding the time to get out and take some. In most cases this is just an excuse to stay home and catch a few extra winks. I am really worn out right now. But with all that said I am seeing some free time in my future, that means trying to come up with ideas for pictures. I took some criticism for not taking more family pics. To be honest most of our family is seldom around to take pictures. This would require scheduling and some other tough calls to get it all setup. But I am ok with what I photograph. I like trying things out that involve less human and more objects. Humans tend to be a bit less interesting to me to photograph, I could do it but it is something that is a little further down on the list if you get the drift.
Well what is next you say? Aurora is always fun, I managed a quick trip out the other week but still need to post process the images. Maybe some time on the computer tomorrow will give me a better idea what I have form that outing. But I have found another item of interest. Very long exposure. VLE for short. I watched a tutorial on this today, 100 to 200 seconds. So how or what do photograph for that long? Anything really. I am thinking if I can find a situation where the light is not too bright I can try it out. So stay tuned and if I get some time you may see some test shots.
Ok! The kitchen. Well lights are all in. Amazing what it does for the house. I am hoping to do some other work this week in the evening. I have some painting to do and baseboards. But that may happen on Friday this week. like all renos I am suffering a little burn out so taking a week off is maybe not the worst idea.
Well, Happy Valentines Day! Love often!
