photos to see how things look at various times of the day

I don't even know why I take photographs, maybe they are small markers that will possibly stick with me of places and things that I see and wonder about.

The weekend consisted of continuous horizontal rain. The only opportunity for a walk with the camera was when the rain stopped briefly on Sunday night So the postings this week are some B sides, photos that I felt unsure of plus some from Sunday night.

some lessons I'm trying to learn on making bad photos

Some years back when I was around 23 years old I purchased a Polaroid camera and took a photo of my cat on the lawn. The photo came out of the front of the camera and a picture of a blurry grey blob on a background of green slowly appeared. I was charmed by the result. Soon after I purchased an SLR camera and darkroom equipment. I then proceeded to try and make sharp detailed prints. I have started to think what is the point of this…. lightbox is tops for B&W
