Happy Birthday Edward Hopper

Sometimes when I look through the camera lens, a certain combination of sunlight and shadow makes me think of the painter Edward Hopper, whose work I love. It happened again yesterday as I took this shot of the Legion Hall in Bloomfield, Iowa.

 

This morning’s Writer’s Almanac tells me: “It's the birthday of painter Edward Hopper, who lived and worked in the same New York City apartment from 1913 until 1967, and who once said, ‘Maybe I am slightly inhuman. ... All I ever wanted to do was to paint sunlight on the side of a house.’ “

 

All I can say is - Edward, I completely understand.
