Great writing! "Although I only worked with one DP who was a big enough asshole to declare, “I paint with light” — and he was a spray-painter at best" reminds me of another guy of whom we said "He welds with light"...
One caveat, though. Take your cellphone with you, but don't pocket it, Keep it out in your hands, ready. Learning to photograph is all about seeing, not simply looking. Seeing is what your phone camera enables.
Agreed -- that's how I got the photo. While taking a break from whatever show I was working on at the time, I wandered outside and there it was -- so I clicked the phone camera and there it was.

Ha -- love that line, Andy! Thanks!
Beautifully written and observed! I'm on my way outside on this bright, cold day to have a look at what my phone and I might find. Happy Easter!
Thanks, Deb -- and Happy Easter to you!
Superb, Michael. For life, light is everything.
