01/24/13 – Flat Light Love Letter

Words By: Kevin Wittig @kevinswittig on Twitter

Flat Light, my heart yearns for you. Weeks have passed since the last time we were together and life hasn’t been the same since you up and left. Your mellow vibe and low angle light distribution are the perfect combination to light my fire. I long for the feeling of riding through you while not knowing if I’m moving up or down… it makes me starry eyed to even think about it.

Look Flat Light, let me get right to the point. I’ll never forget our affair in December when you showed up at my door with your close friend, powder. We had the time of our lives and all I dream about is being with you again. I know you’re busy philandering with other mountain communities around the world, but if you think there is something between us here in Jackson, would you mind hanging around for a bit to see if we can make it work? I’m thinking of you flat light, and thankful you’ve returned to Jackson Hole.
