the way I see the world
I’m not at all sure I’ll get to the Eastern Sierra this year: I missed so many lessons with my oboe students due to our long trip it’s hard to justify leaving them again. So what to do if I can’t make the time to go with Dan? Look over old photos, of course!

Who is this guy and what’s he doing in front of my trees?
Okay, maybe not mine … and yes, Dan is the landscape photographer in the house so it makes sense that he’d be shooting a landscape. What doesn’t make sense is that I shot this on the iPhone. But maybe I did that to send to our kids … I can’t remember! And of course placing him smack dab in the center of the image is a bit odd too … but there you go. Still, I’m posting it because I like this guy. A lot.

Color. It’s a toughie sometimes. What the camera sees (frequently tends to be bluer than what I see: for instance, snow isn’t white most of the time, it’s blue! But we see it as white.) what we see (usually more yellow and often a bit brighter as well — perhaps because my eyes adjust to the shade?), and then remembering and processing a photo to what I believe I saw … it’s a challenge. But I think this is what I saw …?!

I’m busy thinking about what I’m missing this year: my October is full, so an excursion to the Eastern Sierra will have to wait until 2017. Photos from last year will have to suffice!
