I think my wife now thinks that I am officially crazy.  You would think that after 15 years of marriage, she would have figured that out long ago, but I digress.  I got up early yesterday and wondered around with my camera in the bitter (-5 w/ wind chill) weather.  I loved the light and what it was doing and to be honest, I wanted to take advantage of it.

When I looked over into my neighbors backyard, I saw this hay bale.  I knew 2 things when I saw it: 1) It had to be a BW shot and 2) I wanted the viewer to feel the cold.  I love the texture of it.  How you can see what it looks and feels like and, to me at least, it sure does look cold.

This afternoon I am driving over to Athens (about 2 hours away) to do an outdoor fashion shoot.  Let’s hope that the wind is not too nasty for us.  I, of course, will post the results later in the week.
