Walking around Hampden with one of my Canon F1s, the 24mm f1.4 wide angle lens, a red filter and some Kodak Tri-X pan.  I’m happily snapping away at whatever catches my eye.  No jacket…not even a light vest.  Just jeans, sneakers, a light short-sleeved shirt and my Taos cap.  The sky is bright blue with a few puffy cumulus clouds to make it visually interesting.  When I stop and turn towards the sun, I can feel its heat on my body, through the fabric of my shirt.

I was going to spend the day working in the artroom, but it’s too nice to be down in the basement all day.  They’re saying it will be colder and rainy tomorrow.  By colder, I mean in the 50s.  It was 70 in my back yard just a little while ago.  As I write this, it’s reading 74 at BWI airport.
