Hurricane season started, cold and rain. The weather and therefore my mental state influence the photographic result.

Anyone who thinks that photography must be beautiful hasn't understood much about photography. Yesterday I focused on matter, on how light falls on objects, on the scarcity of light, often. Because light, inevitably, conditions the photographic result and you have to be good at understanding how you can manage presence and absence.

The result is dark, like in an old noir.
