Bill Allard (in The Photographic Essay 
I think) once said that if a photographer can only work in beautiful light they were going to have a pretty short career. It is advice that I have always taken to heart. Good pictures sometimes happen in bad light. Sometimes they happen because of bad light.

Good pictures sometimes happen in bad light. Sometimes they happen because of bad light.The harshness of the mid day sun in this photo makes the image successful for me. It just would not be as forlorn enough if the light was beautiful...
