Photography 101: Warmth – Still in a Remembrance Day frame of mind

warmth v

Keep the Home Fires Burning,
While your hearts are yearning.
Though your lads are far away
They dream of home.
There’s a silver lining
Through the dark clouds shining,
Turn the dark cloud inside out
Till the boys come home.

composed in 1914 by Ivor Novello with words by Lena Gilbert Ford

Photography 101: SolitudeCapture a snapshot that conveys the state of being alone.

Cairn

Cairns built by unknown hands high on the Lakeview Mountain Trail in British Columbia’s Cathedral Provincial Park, all show you the way home. When the mist comes up they are a welcome sight to the traveller suddenly very much alone in the solitude of the mountain.

This painting was first a photograph and is now a photograph of a painting. I hope this legitimizes its inclusion in Photography 101. I will await the reprimand.
