[Leica] IMGs: wherein I go Outside

[jbm at jbm.org (Jeff Moore)]

I've always preferred Inside to Outside. I mean, I'm not crippled with
agoraphobia or anything -- I have to pass through Outside whenever I
travel from one Inside to another Inside, and I have to go Outside
several times a day to empty Ted the Dog and allow him essential doses
of sniffing and romping, so I do.  But, aside from occasional jaunts to
go slide down snowy mountains, it just hardly ever occurs to me to go
Outside as a destination in its own right.  Whenever I imagine a cozy,
enjoyable situation, it's Inside.

And as for taking pictures -- mostly I like taking pictures of people.
Usually inside.

On a recent jaunt Outside with Ted the Dog, though, the light was just
so great -- you know, gently overcast so all the colors are saturated
and there aren't those terrible hard glary bright patches and hard black
shadows; overcast in a nice warm way, not that depressing bluish-grey
way or weird watery winter-light way -- that I just had to go back
Outside with an M8 and an R8/DMR and a few pieces of glass to take
photos of Outside things.  Not even people or the dog.  Here are those
pictures.
