Light Rather Than Dark, Compositions Not Constitutions

Railway Viaduct, Milnsbridge, Huddersfield. September 2014
I went out and took some photographs today. It is the first time in over a month: the first time since my eyes got infected and Isobel's gut got twisted. It was nowhere special; just Milnsbridge on the far side of Huddersfield (which is special, I suppose, if you come from Milnsbridge). The little expedition was, however, a sign that things are getting back to normal, a sign that I can allow myself the luxury of doing insubstantial things: worrying about light rather than dark, compositions rather than constitutions. Things are on the mend and what they need now is a little push in the right direction. It's time for that holiday, It's time to catch the sun. Off to the seaside, back soon (now where have I heard those words before!)

  1. So good to hear that you and the GLW are both well on the mend. I'm sure I haven't been the only one in blogland to be thinking of you, and wishing you well. A spell in the sun sounds just what the doctor ordered.

  7. And a great photograph, too; one that demands black and white.

Photographs don't have to be "good" photographs to be memorable. Sometimes all they need to do is to capture a moment in time,...
