Don, we sure have (had) the winter. Now we have the
"5th season" - the pure skeleton of climate without any particular symptoms of
weather.
I'd prefer frost and snow - one gets used to it
amazingly quickly - going out for a shoot now I have to be supersedingly
inventive.
All the same out-of-colour litter, grayish bare
trees and the heavy-as-a-hangover overcast sky. Day by day.
Pools and dirt and wind.
While people and buildings (when I lose my way to a
settled point), as much as there is light to see them, look ugly and angry. Me
too, BTW.
Should be good for "environmental portraits" and
visual anthropology essays, but then again - it's only the surface. Deep down at
heart people are nice and friendly and all they create looks nice and good as
well. Luckily I know that.
So I feel like an investigator - trying to detect
worthwile splits of a second or unexpected views.
That's what lack of winter does to us.
Makes us to be better photographers.
:)

I am taking that as a jest, Peeter. I know Estonia has
winter and snow cover and all that. You may not get to the rock bottom
temps we sometimes reach but it isn't a tropical paradise there. But I
hope it has been an easy winter for you. I don't know about you but I am
getting too old for all the cold. I probably would use a few blankets
instead of a sheet if I were to go to Andy's ritual. Sounds like a good
time there though. I'll bet there are some Hot Buttered Rums or the
equivalent to be had.

Dear Forum Members,
Browsing through different calendars
today I discovered, that according to the Druid Calendar it happens to
be the Festival of the Muses (Universal pagan festival
dedicated to Inspiration, Art, and Science). Exactly for us,
photographers, isn't it?
Cheerio!

I
thought about getting naked and musing out in nature for the occasion but
-24 deg. F. made that seem likely to be uncomfortable. Not too
mention,
illegal.
