I was so enamored of Nancy's shot of Cooper, with the distant little furniture, I wanted to do one too. I couldn't get quite the distance, & the intense directional light from the glass door to Sibley's left cast half of her face in deep shadow, but here is our domestic shot.

I loved this assignment! So very useful to try a more organized approach to proper exposure of black dogs in indoor light! I chose this one for my final image, as it was one of my more ambitious ideas, & I really had to work at it. It involved watching light changes through the day & choosing a propitious time, & rearranging the furniture (getting rid of a chair which stuck up distractingly behind Sibley's head, & also swapping out a little table, as the one that usually sits beside the couch has curved legs which looked ever so odd from this height. Also requiring multiple posing sessions for Miss Sibley, while I figured out position of camera & distances, also waiting for her to move her head into a pleasing position. Wasn't she a star, to put up with all that & still look relaxed!

Speedy edit from me today, I've got a suitcase to pack and a car to drive to Norfolk! Coupla' days shooting, with friends to be made and beaches to be explored. So today's shot is a little rushed! Have a great weekend people :-)

**update**

So I just nestled into my cosy hotel room in Norfolk. I've had a wonderful day. I went to breakfast with my darling's second wife, who is absolutely wonderful and warm. Being around her makes me feel like I am with him again, hearing her stories of their time together is learning new things about him all over again. The times where I really want to talk to him, to keep asking him about his life and the things he's done, I get to do that through her and his friends. More of that will come, hopefully, in the future :-)

I had a lovely drive over, he was constantly in my thoughts as he always is. He's becoming imprinted into my mind, I can feel it happening. It's funny, actually, people say that every day goes by and nothing ever feels like it changes in life, until you look up 20 years later and it's all different. Not for me. I feel every inch of my life changing all the time, I can feel it shift and move, become lighter and heavier. Every day feels like a step forward, it's a step further away from the last time I saw him, but a step closer to going wherever he went, and regardless what lies for us after we go, if he's blazed the trail then it can't be too bad. He's either waiting for me, or there's no more living without him, so death for me has become a win-win :-)

Re-reading that sounds quite dark, but I don't mean it to be. I love living, I cherish the time I have been given in this body and I am grateful every day for the gifts of kindness, touch, taste, colour, wind on my skin, the smell of the air, the light on different surfaces. I adore it, it sustains me. When things are good, I worship life. When things are hard, being grateful for life helps me step out of the bad situation. When things are downright awful, letting my mind fall silent and being quietly in those things has been my boat in a raging sea.

I always used to dread death, be so scared of not knowing, I used to be so scared of feeling like I hadn't made the best of what I've had. Being with him has completed me in so many ways, and by that I mean completed the Experience of Life I hoped I would be able to have. I felt so loved, and I loved. I loved without expectation or condition, I loved him ever so simply. I still feel loved, I still feel special. I feel him around me everywhere. I feel him smile at me and the decisions I make, I feel him guide me and playfully keep watch over the Bad. Maybe it's just a loony part of grieving, but whatever, I'll take it. If it's a part of my mind, it's a part of my life that nature wants me to have, and since his energy is now a part of nature, then he wants me to have it. So it is mine :-)

Anyway, I had a little crash after such a lovely, light day. Writing this has helped. That's all from me, night night world.
