Miscellany

 


A way of being present.



Even when seemingly not, otherwise.



People tend to believe the best photographic light occurs during ‘the Magic Hour’.

That’s the half hour prior to sunrise and the half hour after sunset. So not really an hour, unless you count them together at the end a long day. Beware conventional wisdom.

 


Because in this case that’s just universality talking. Which explains the ocean of glorious sunrise/sunset moments captured and held forever on all your phones.

 


As happens, on the occasion the world falls utterly still in the face of an oncoming storm, life draws a deep breath and sometimes holds it. However long.

And in that moment, light might be made uncommonly sublime.
