In response to the pandemic lockdown, I gave myself a photographic assignment to create one photo every day to keep my eyes and brain creative and engaged. Seeking light in a dark time, I began photographing sun patterns streaming into my house. With light as the subject, I tracked the sun’s progression across walls as time crept around the wheel of the year. My daily photo journal was subtly different every day, a personal solar clock, like living in a sun dial, a reminder of nature’s time.
One day, light appeared over the fireplace, bouncing through open blinds. It centered over a tiny duck, a wooden craft project I made in high school shop class, and one of the only treasures I rescued from my mom’s house before she died in the pandemic.
