Customers line up at the proper social distance to step into Schneider’s Bakery to pick up their Thanksgiving rolls, breads, pies, cakes, cookies, and donuts. My Final Photo for Nov. 25, 2020.
During late fall when the transition from the warmth of summer to the short days of a bitter winter, the days host an indifference to the needs of humans. Not yet resigned to fewer hours of daylight and temperatures that slow the pace of nature, photographers look for ways to illustrate the day and its beauty. The photos don’t always have to great but the search must be expansive and determined.

I carry a bunch of notebooks and a variety of pens and pencils. I’ve written in a notebook during Sunday services, pulled off to the side of the road and into parking lots to write down what I don’t want to forget, and thrust pen and paper at my wife in the passenger seat with instructions to write exactly what I say. Notetaking is essential to me finding photos every day. It doesn’t matter what type of notebook you use. It matters that you use it.

It rained all day. I made photographs most of that time. Well, at least I looked for photographs from the dry, safe confines of my car. I did step out several times and drying my cameras is easy with a simple and effective tool. I keep at least half a dozen in my car and more at home.
