Perfect Days and Picture Ways
Perfect Days. Today was a perfect day. Overcast and only 70 degrees (rare for a summer day in Virginia). I had a long phone conversation with a dear friend I’ve known since we were six years-old. It is reassuring to have a relationship with someone who has known you for nearly your whole life. Dave and I went out to a new-to-us coffee shop and enjoyed very special lattes. I had a haircut from a lovely and talented stylist (I still look the same, but it was nice to be cared for in this way). Then I spent the afternoon working on a photo project. We have an easy supper planned with grilled chicken and roasted potatoes and corn on the cob. Then we’ve planned to visit not just one, but two, libraries in our area this evening. Or maybe we’ll just stay home and watch season 3 of The Guilded Age. There is nothing spectacular about this day, but the slow rhythm of simple joys feels like the best gift ever.
Picture Ways. Sometimes it’s fun to go through my archives and see what I’ve missed. There are often well composed images that I did not know how to edit creatively or correctly. Sometimes there are folders of images that I never got around to culling. I love to group the images and create collections. I have in mind to print these gardening-themed photographs as groups of note cards or postcards or maybe small sets of everyday prints from Artifact Uprising to give as gifts.
