I'm so sleepy! This moving the clock stuff is some hoo-ha that we need to drop.

I looked through some of the snapshots from the walk at Washington on the Brazos. Ugg. I love sunny days when the camera is at home, but the direct light is a real killer when it comes to taking photos... harsh shadows and too much contrast. Yuck. It makes me want to live someplace like Seattle where the clouds are always diffusing the light... 24/7. At lunch yesterday, we were talking about that guy that was in an auto accident and left on the side of the road. Amazing. For those that didn't read about it, basically this guy was in a wreck and broke his neck. He got out of his car and tried to walk off the side of the highway to a safe place when something in the newly broken area of his neck induced paralysis and he dropped. The other party in the accident thought the guy was trying to walk away, so they left. The police came, did a report, they removed his car, etc. All the time, this guy was paralyzed on the ground just on the other side of the cement barrier. He laid there for
36 hours before a passing motorist saw him and called for help. Amazing. Anyhoo, I got too much sun and was feeling lazy the rest of the day. EL made some yummies and we relaxed with the monster (Henry)... struggling to get used to the stupid time change. This morning came too soon. Most of the management here is leaving for Colorado today, so the number of meetings should be minimized. This translates to me getting more productive work done and potentially having a non-compressed and low stress day. All that remains to be seen at this point. The lady I buy coffee from every morning is out today. My first obstacle of the morning. Heh.
Harsh shadows. Cute kid.
Oh good - I thought that “too contrasty” thing was my camera (or me) being crap. It just seems like there’s not enough colour when it’s cloudy. Or maybe our cloudy is simply extra cloudy!
These days (especially after yesterday), I prefer cloudy to bright and sunny. It becomes so hard to manage exposure in the subtle areas of highlight and shadow when the light is direct and powerful. I’ve really enjoyed the shots in your photoblog… I love that Mandarin Duck. Those are my favorite ducks.
