My New Light


I bought a new quarts halogen spotlight the other day. Just to have around. It is small, and only has a 200 watt bulb in it. I just thought it would be helpful if I wanted to photograph some things around the house, because it is easy to set up. It is easier than setting up an electronic flash, and I can see what is going on in the viewfinder, instead of having to shoot a flash picture and checking that on the camera. With this light, what you see is what you get. So a few minutes ago (and it is night here...) I set up the light and experimented with this Philodendron plant. I love that it looks like a summer's day, instead of night inside the house.

I don't know Joan, but I wish I had a sister like her. I can tell from her comments that she is tremendously supportive of you, Ken. How lucky to have such a loving sister who makes an effort to stay close to you. I'm sure you appreciate all of your siblings, but as an outsider, I give Joan extra points for all the love she shows you through her comments.

Thank you so much for your wonderful comment. You have figured it out exactly! Lucky me! It does make a difference to me, when people respond in some small way, to the photographs I have posted.

To Ken's fan club...
Ken is lucky,...he has 3 sisters who idolize him and think he walks on water. Very loving family.
And one would never know how much else Joan has on her plate...a lot...and yet she takes the time to always comment. That's called Love. (P.S. BSK is another sister who frequently comments)
- Ken's wife.
