Look at this light! This gorgeous, soft warm light reflecting off the glittering frost, the sun still low, blue shadows of dawn….. this gorgeous, gorgeous light. I was out with my camera in this light, ogling the light, thrilled for such unique and perfect Charlie-portrature light, and Charlie wouldn’t join me. I called for him, I sang for him, I yipped and barked, I promised him food, I begged.

I knew I only had about twenty minutes with this light – that little stretch of time and degrees as the sun rises, when it’s bright enough to shoot by but before it gets strong enough to throw hard shadows. Charlie stayed curled up in bed the whole time. The whole time!! Linda Evangelista (supermodel from the 90s) once said, “I don’t get out of bed for less than ten thousand dollars.” That was Charlie’s motto on the morning of this priceless light.
