Yes, I once took a picture of a winter
scene and was happy with it. I hope you don't think any less of me.
I received several joking notes from
people yesterday following my posting of a picture I took on my phone
a couple of winters ago. Specifically, this picture--
Given my proclaimed lack of love for
winter, you guys were surprised that I would even include a winter
picture among the samples I put up, but think of it this way. I live
in Marquette, where there can be snow on the ground six months out of
the year. I'd be surprised if I DIDN'T have pictures with snow in
them.
I don't post a lot of pictures of snow
for a couple of reasons. One, I don't like looking at snow, and at
least personally, I don't think shots of snow look as nice as shots
of sun & green& heat. And two, I don't take as many pictures
during winter as I do during summer. I don't have a camera with me
everywhere I go, and I don't head out for afternoon jaunts to shoot
whatever I see like I do during the summer.
After all, I like having frostbite-free
fingers and toes.
I do, however, take some pictures
during winter. Mostly, they're for the station, usually after a big
snow event, and mostly to show just how much of the white crap has
fallen. And I do have to admit, that just as with the picture I took
with my phone, SOME snow can look nice, especially when framed by
something in downtown Marquette, like this--
Or this--
Don't worry. I haven't suddenly, in
the time it's taken to write this blog, become a lover of winter.
I'm not waiting for the snow to fall so I can go out and take more
pictures. I'm not. In fact, I can't wait until the leaves come out
and the heat starts to shoot upward in May. But it is nice to know
that I may get one or two nice pictures taken in the six or seven
months until then.
