Pictures of Clouds

Everyone takes them, they appear worldwide, they're naturally photogenic, and are of the same essence which dreams are sculpted from. At the same time there's a billion and one pictures of them out there. So many so that I find myself looking at peoples pictures and thinking evil thoughts about their large number of cloud pictures as though the photographers were irritating parents thrusting small children towards your face and insisting that you love them with an incomprehensible fervor. Perhaps this is a slight exaggeration, but that's part of what the world is built of. So, regardless of the animosity between me and other peoples' pictures of clouds, I still find myself sitting around outside, turning my camera up towards the sky. Hypocrite? Probably.



As an ancillary note, I've decided that something I do will have a character who only takes pictures of the sky and clouds, and pins them all on their bedroom wall.
