It’s amazing how energizing one cool, cloudy day was. Today, was back to hot and sweaty, but it didn’t feel as oppressive. I finally set up my new mobile mirrorworld to my satisfaction, and played with an interesting purple and green light palette. I find it amusing that these random globs of dried hot glueContinue reading “Quickly Capturing Lingering Light”

The Values of Literature
