It's Snowing In Dallas, Y'all! [White Christmas!]

I have thought about your reply and completely understand why you may feel that way, but as a resident, I can tell you what you hear is not the reality.
We have a few bunkers of lefties and because of the way districts are drawn politics is controlled by them but the people in general are generous, kind and conservative. Unfortunately those are the very people you do not hear about.
Ah, well, as we know perception is reality.

Your series of photos gave me something to think. I suggest that you print them out, not too large, 4x6 or even 3x5, and put them mounted side by side with the white or yellow mount separating them into a frame. Each one is not much itself, compositionally speaking, but as a set they tell a story that’s simple but worth telling.

Representing time is a difficult thing in photography. Last year I recall seeing a Christmas tree tossed out of the house somewhere around here on... Christmas Day. I don’t remember photographing it then, but yesterday I went out on a fruitless search for it or another one like it, driving for a little less than an hour, and not finding the scene. (Today, I didn’t see a tree thrown out either!)

Well, what if I had found it? What in the photograph would indicate that it was Christmas Day? Nothing could, except putting there of course a handmade sign or a newspaper in the frame, not an ideal indicator. I thought of the famous photograph of a sailor kissing a girl on Times Square when the end of WWII was announced. As I recall there are no indicators in the picture of the date, it’s just what we were told, but it could have happened any time.

Frame those pics.
