Darkness and Light

(I'd have a photo for you, but I didn't upload my pics yet)

I've recently become aware that sometimes when I process my photos at home, they turn out too dark when you look at them on a regular (non-laptop) monitor. I think I'm setting my laptop monitor at an odd angle when I process them at home. Somehow, they look light enough to me when I'm working on them, but then when I look at my blog on a different computer, I see that the photos are actually too dark. Hmm. I am not sure how to remedy this.

I'm going to be starting Artist's Way again. I have a teeny tiny wish of a goal to have enough art to peddle my wares to local coffeehouses and try and have a show or something, in a year. I'd like to do the AW process with that in mind. This has been a long-time dream of mine, and I'm still not sure I feel ready to claim it. But it's something to keep in mind as I do the process. I'm considering writing down weekly thoughts on this. These may or may not start appearing next week.

I also have conflicting feelings about the poetry blog I started early this year. I do enjoy it, when I remember to do it. It was once daily, then once weekly, and now, apparently, once monthly. I feel as if, if I'm not doing it regularly, I should abandon it. But maybe I should stick with it for the year, and see what happens. I may get re-inspired later. I am still having fun with the cooking blog. I will begin cooking more, starting next week. I feel that I have purged myself of overindulgence and can safely enjoy regular food again. Sans, of course, excess wheat, dairy, or sugar. I learned my lesson. M-O-D-E-R-A-T-I-O-N. Except in the case of luxury chocolates, or favorite cheeses. Then all bets are off.
