One morning there was a skiff of snow across many of the high open areas. I, and several other photo buffs, found a coyote near the roadside in one of these snow-filled areas. I knew from past experience that my camera was going to be blinded somewhat by all the snow surrounding my subject.

The majority of this year’s Rosie winners were first-time nominees in their categories, including The Camera Store’s Jordan Drake who won BEST CINEMATOGRAPHER (DRAMA UNDER 30 MINUTES) for his work on Metanoia by Leftside Pictures which was directed by Levi Holwell.

I waited for a re-print Another Way of Telling the last few months, and when it came in last week I bought it, and read it enthusiastically. Jean Mohr’s photography is great, especially the last section of the book, taken mostly of peasants in the Haute-Savoie region of Eastern France. The photos reminded me that the best of what occurs in art, and in life, is like what Guido de Bres wrote, “For it is before our eyes as a most beautiful Book”.

Recently, I found two books while browsing through a collection sold at a non-profit (where, parenthetically, I am a volunteer). One is by Margaret Visser, entitled “The Geometry of Love”, and the other is by Roland Barthes, called “The Responsibility of Forms”.
