regional transit
I took a weekend trip to New Mexico the other day. Of course I took photos while I was there.
This photo is the very last one I made. It took me quite a few tries (let’s say 15, because that is the actual number) because the sky wasn’t quite dark enough at first. And then, when the sky was where I wanted it, cars would somehow appear on what I thought was a quiet little road and drive right through my photo. I’m not saying that head- and taillight light trails are always terrible, but I am saying that in this case they did not fit my vision.
But then, at last, I had the one photo I’d stopped there to take. So I packed up and headed on down the road.
It felt good.

Blue hour, obviously. And I loved the way the sign gave off a warm glow, which was echoed by the light on the second floor of the building.

not the kind of night i am used to
I spent a little bit of time the other day looking back at photos I’d made in Nova Scotia almost a decade ago. Initially I thought this one was too dark or too blue or something and so I never edited it. Maybe it was my mood when I rediscovered it, but that blue really appealed to me this time around.

The day breaks gently
Our side of the island faced west, which meant that the dramatic evenings were offset by gentle mornings, with a flat ocean and clouds that were in a hurry to be somewhere else before full daylight.
