on this day of giving thanks
After bringing in the food we contributed to our dinner, I threw my coat on the floor like a kid, grabbed my camera, and began shooting the amazing last rays of sunlight coming into the dining room. I tend not to take a lot of pictures around my family because everyone shies away from the camera, but I also just like talking, catching up, and reminiscing. Oh, and playing video games with the kids, of course. My cousin's home is cozy and exactly the kind of place I dream of coming home to everyday. And of course, that light!

experimental phase
taken October 2008; Nikon D40
I transferred a bunch of old photos from my PC to my MAC. With it came a lot of experiments I did while on a cross-country road trip in 2008, such as the photograph above. I've been so focused on my 365 and am almost done with it, but now I'm starting to experiment outside of things I normally do. Writing with light? Oh, there will be more of that. I'm getting friends to do shoots with me in exchange for food and/or booze. I also found a small mirror that I'd like to find ways to include in shoots in a surreal way. My photography teacher in high school would get frustrated that I had pages in my research notebook on Magritte and Dali. "They don't relate to what you're doing!" Well, it may have taken me six years, but I'm going to use their influence to have fun experimenting with my photograph. They take surrealism to the next level with painting, I'm going to paint with light.

light study
I have been chasing light a lot lately. The sun looks different since we changed the time. It has a glow that seems to say,"Enjoy me while you can; I won't be around much this season." Well, Mr. Sun, I'll enjoy you while I can and capture those rays to post here.
