kitchen table full of impressions

 the light this morning is overwhelmingly bright and as picture-making proved near impossible, I questioned what it was I was trying to achieve: a close-as-possible-likeness-to-the-real-thing and realised this is probably never going to happen with my phone/camera so why not go with the flow and takes pics of the pieces as they appear to be in this particular light, forget about what you think they 'really' look like, because that changes anyhow as the (lack of) light plays such a large part in the pieces, why not let the tricks of the light have a deliberate part and also don't bother with getting them right side up or only bits and not even knowing to what piece which bit belongs
