When I am being a
responsible photographer preparing for an outing or another occasion that will
generate a lot of photo files, I charge all my camera batteries, clear my
memory and reformat my disks. It feels good to start fresh.
But I find that empty space in a camera is a vacuum. Photos
want to rush in so I am compelled to snap the shutter. Here now!
When I am lucky, there is nice light in front of me and a tidy counter or something interesting on the refrigerator door.
The images in this collection are some of those casual, spur
of the moment, homely snaps.
In truth, I like to have that comfortable image at the front
of my memory, literally a home base.
Home is the spot where, when the new shots run out, I find comfort in the familiar. It's a happy place.
