What's the best way to get me to post in lj?
Have a pressing issue that would brew better with a bit of procrastination of course. ;-}
So, bad things are happening all around me but I refuse to let them get to me. I have a new philosophy. It's hard to explain but I will attempt to do so here if for no other reason than that I can refer to it when I need to.
"All light adds!" Yeah, it doesn't sound like much of gestault, but it is. Way back when I was a photography student, I had a wonderful teacher who often sounded like a wise prophet when he spoke. I know that he said many deep things to me but yesterday while I was driving and remembering him fondly, all I could conjure of his voice was "All light adds!" So, wanting to feel the warmth of his voice, I let this run through my head for a minute or two. The quote is in reference of him trying to make me understand how to light a stupid candle and tabletop set up. I had a hard time understanding that darkness has no value when trying to figure f stops and ISO and ambient light. For every photo I ever took that had bad lighting, it was because I always tried to figure in the darkness but darkness is always a non value. Light is the only thing that you can measure, even in the shadows. So, I decided to apply this to life. Well, after writing it down it sounds silly but, I suppose that it's the process and my own personal association with the memories. It boils down to accentuating the positive blah blah blah.
Well, it's my new philosophy-until I think of a new one.
