Things I have forgotten today

  1. My wallet.
  2. The portable hard drive with my fonts and all the recent images I have shot. It’s hard to do design work when you don’t have your fonts (and the font manager which is also on that hard drive).
  3. That I can’t sustain how I currently live.
  4. That life can be easier than this if I just make a few choices about where I need to live.
  5. That one must wake up 1 – 1.5 hours earlier to remove snow in order to make appointments in a state of having showered.
  6. That I actually like snow and enjoy snow removal so long as there is machinery involved. And good earphones/headphones.
  7. That I am extraordinarily lucky.

Approaching Sunset Storm

Used a Lightroom preset to get very close to this. After looking at this image up close, it’s painfully clear that the sensor of the 5D needs to be cleaned. Holy crap. 40 to 50 spots. It’s definitely not the lens. It’s the sensor. For most shots, the amount of healing spots necessary is reduced because there is enough color variation to hide the sensor dust. It’s the shots of large plain colors where the dirty sensor goes bananas.

Shining Right at Me

I’m not sure this is an image that should be viewed on a screen. As I was working on it, I kept thinking that it needed to be printed very large and framed. The interplay of the wires gets a little lost at this size. But I still love the contrasts.

I feel like I need to keep thanking you for the kind words and encouragement. My inbox overflows with love, light and positivity. This is a brutal time. But I’m pushing through. Thank you for your support.
