Isn’t it interesting the number of people out there who have the potential for great things and yet sit on their talents waiting for someone else to make something of this. “What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us.” Ralph Waldo Emerson. I guess that’s the real issue here.

It’s no big secret that lighting is everything. It sets the mood for any occasion and can make or break a photographer. I am a strong advocate against flourescent bulbs. That kind of light is a menace to mankind and leaves a person with bleeding eyes and ears. The intensity of the sun’s radiance does the same. I’m also against 90000 watt bulbs that are just plain ridiculous for household use! It’s actually quite amazing the things we can see when the lights are off. How did someone convince us we needed 25000 watt bulbs in every room?! My favorite lights are the chestnut shades. I’ve got the brown hue bulbs strategically placed throughout the house as an invitation for my eyes. The color softens the room and gives a glow that seems heavenly. Everyone looks good with a tan and every room poses a warm comfort. When I feel the need for a change of scenery in the house, instead of rearranging the furniture or buying more things to clutter up the space, I simply change the lightbulb and it completely transforms the room and my perception of the area. It’s funny the way things can change when the light bulb goes on!
