sidelight
so of course, now that i have decided to switch back to a white background, i am seeing all the things i love about black. like the veiny details of this hydrangea flower, that are amplified by the side lighting that works so well against a black background. it’s like i just decided for sure to break up with my high school boyfriend, and now he’s driving away and i’m so, so sad.

MJ, is there a rule that say a whole year must have a specific theme? Choose the background that’s right for the subject of the day! Love your work, always.
Hi Ginny, I love your thoughtful comments! I have only self-imposed rules. I agree that it would make the most sense to choose the right background for the subject. But I am hung up on having the blog switching back and forth between white and black images as one scrolls through it. I don’t think i’d like it as much. Although I admit I have not tried it. I want to STILL to be a peaceful, quiet corner of the internet. A place of calm. And the thought of bouncing between light and dark images doesn’t quite fit my mental model. Perhaps I am being overly prescriptive. Alas, I will take your suggestion under serious consideration! Thank you
