They are: interesting subjects, or Interesting occurrences, or inter-. «sting effects of light Any of these--or all together-- 1H11 yield good pictures, and you can flnd them almost anywhere. - At random, I have set down a list of winter picture ideas--just suggestions to set your imagination /working. Load up your camera, try them--and I'll hazard the guess that you can turn out dozens of good pictures in the next few days. First, snow pictures. Can you picture the sparkle of sunlight, falling across new snow? Curious shapes - jt>f snow in drifts, on trees, on shrubs and fences. Children sledding, or throwing snowballs? Shadow patterns on the snow? Neighbors shoveling snow from the house walk? A horse-drawn sleigh? Tracks of people, or birds, or rabbits, in the snow? Snow falling, soft and white, outtide your window? Paths beateft to barn or garage? Birds in the snow, pecking at crumbs? All these will make good pictures. Then, cold weather. Can you put cold into a picture--so that tbiftviewer feels it? How about a pi0» ture of an old horse, nuzzling frozen-over water trough? Iciclet hanging from a faucet or pump, spout? Frost on the kitchen window' . pane? Passersby, bending into thA wind, snuggled deep into the collaE#' i of their overcoats? Someone scafc, tering cinders on an icy pavementf A small boy, rubbing his frosty ear*. with mittened hands? An old automobile with radiator spouting steam? A Stretch of open countrif • with snow clouds dark above itf These are good pictures--they tell the story of winter. „ Again, indoors. Warm pictures, to Contrast with the cold outside. HaVf you tried fireside pictures? Pictures of the family toasting marshmak lows, or telling stories before tht fire? Reading, under the warm glow of a lamp? These are good--and easy to make, with fast X-type film ' and two or three photo bulbs. Pictures such as these are interesting because they tell a story. They have "something to say." And they are the snapshots you should be getting now. John ran Guilder > A bandit walked into a loan office in Omaha and ordered J. T. Zimmerman to turn over the cash. Zimmerman produced $100.
