The creative act lasts but a brief moment, a lightning instant of give-and-take, just long enough for you to level the camera and to trap the fleeting prey in your little box.

This is a gorgeous photo, I love the glowing light in the darkness and the person is so well framed.

For a moment there I thought this was a ghost in a mirror picture! The light n face is so low, it could be- I'm guessing from the title it is a live person! Interesting antiquey setting.

Enjoy your time with your friends.
Maybe the snow won't last long.

I love Oregon where my brother-in-law lives by the beach in Brookings.

I hope to go there again someday!

This is a really neat shadow shot. I haven't been to Baker City in forever. That area is one that my husband and I need to explore though; hopefully this summer.

Take care and drive safe!

Cool pic. Mysterious.

Baker City catches a bit of snow. I think I'd rather be in Ashland or Portland this time of year. Always beautiful mountains to look at especially if you get stuck.

The epitome of the 'dimly-lit place' here.
