Jennifer Bishop “Light Switch” 3/10/2020
A patch of light is almost always a worthy subject. That this one happened to overlap the light switch endeared me to it even more. This is a corner of my house that I see often. It’s by the washing machine. The orderliness of these functional man made objects struck by a brief wavering burst of sunlight – well, it just melted my heart. I took the picture for my private enjoyment, feeling it too personal, too slight, for anyone but me. But here I am sharing it.

Thanks Jeremy, I find that sense of private joy is my best barometer for taking a picture.

Just a thought but, that looks like a wall that has space for this print! Cheers

Interesting thought! I so rarely get around to making and framing prints…
