So I have this goofy little self-important studio that I put together and I've got a little camera

set up and I put some railings up above so I can kind of hang my lights up there so I don't

trip over the cords. It feels really, really fancy and everything that's outside what is on camera is a filthy disgusting mess because I have my gear and my junk everywhere and it's pretty embarrassing, but you know, that's the beauty of the power of editing and having everything only happen inside frame.

But one of the things is really tricky about this place is that it has some windows, you know, it's a little bit of air if it starts to get warm or whatever.

And let me tell you, keeping the light under control is very, very tricky.

Because even if I pull the shades and I adjust everything so that it all works, the white balance

will change if a cloud rolls by anything, you know what white balance is, right?

That's like how blue or how golden or yellow an image looks and so you know the camera gets all set up and

then here comes a cloud now everything looks wrong and wonky and dumb and the

light shot I'm like all right can't keep doing that I'm gonna have to just

control the light so I go around and I hang things up and I try to make it work and let me tell you

it is quite the chore to get light under control because light is incredibly permeating which I think is probably a

good thing since light I'm told is enormously helpful to human existence and life in

general and the transfer of energy so don't get me wrong. I'm not complaining. I am very pro-light and will continue to be,

but it is quirky when you think about what it takes to get it under control and its permeating attributes.

So in Matthew 514, when Jesus says,

you are the light of the world, a city on a hill can't be hidden.

Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl

instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house in the same way let your light

shine before men that they may see your good deeds and praise your father in heaven

when he says that I actually think it's fairly easy to understand what's going on.

In a dark place, a tiny bit of light does a whole lot.
