But perhaps the picture - all these darks, fadings and colds - simply
reflects my present state of mind.
Peeter,
presently struggling hard for survival and existance
Never give in, Peeter.
That struggle is one day at a time. Some days, the morning light will break
up the darkness. Other days, the darkness will engulf everything. I keep
my camera at hand to pick up the moments of light when they come around and
to put the viewfinder as a separation between me and the world when the
darkness is trying to take a hold of my life.
Your picture is not a lightweight...! But you could'nt have been more
visually expressive.
Sky and water, ice and darkness. The horizon line cuts the image at the
center. The day rises in a disturbing reddish tone and gets immediately
engulfed by the darkness of the tree. It is frigid weather, despite the
really hot tones of the sky. But... there is a ray of hope arising from
the white light shinning on the ice.
Now try this. Flip the image horizontally: the day breaks out from the
darkness of the tree. Desaturate into a B&W picture; do a Curve adjustment
to establish proper contrast and brightness. Bingo! You have a very nice
winter scene shining around.
Never, ever give in, Peeter!
Best,
Guy
