Photography Thought (Light and Beauty)
[State of the Glenn: not feeling well; not sleeping
well; really poorly timed hyperacusis, since recent utility
work left a steel plate over a boomy hole in a travel lane of
Fulton Ave., and even with earplugs in, it sounds like a damned
cannon going off every few seconds. Wearing earplugs enough of
the time that my ear canal feels bruised even though the plugs
are soft foam (haven't tried the moldable waxy ones yet). So
... not keeping up well with communication, especially the
phone. Hoping to finally make it out of the house today to
refill prescriptions.]
This afternoon when something dramatically lit by sun through
a window caught my eye, a thought struck me regarding photography:
Anything, even ordinarily ugly subjects, can be made beautiful
with the right lighting. (Though in extreme cases, the right
lighting may be to turn off the room lights and draw a picture on
the object with a laser pointer.)
