Fun with Photography


Because there are huge cedar trees towering over our house, the amazing light that sometimes shines in our windows generally doesn’t last very long. Sunbeams momentarily sneak through a tiny gap in the boughs of the cedars, but then the sun moves a bit in the sky and -- Presto Chango! -- the beams disappear.

Several days ago I decided to play a kind of Musical Chairs game with the fleeting light. Leah brought some strawberries in from our garden, just as a god-beam of beautiful sun materialized in our living room window.

Think Fast, Kurt!

I had berries and I had light. What could I do with them? What kind of picture could I find before the light vanished and the music stopped?

Work quickly now! The light will be gone in seconds!
