Imperfection.


Compared to the clean lines and simplicity of my last post, this photo is a little off.
(Not to mention the completely different season, setting, etc)
Some photography teacher would probably tell me to increase my shutter speed or use a tripod or maybe just stand still (I took this through the window of a moving car).
But something about this picture is mesmerizing to me.
Maybe it's the subtle pops of color: the purple window trim, the teal flag, the red hat, the yellow street sign.
Maybe it's the architectural contrast.
Maybe it's the sense of motion.
Maybe it's all of the above.
Who knows, but something about this photo makes me want to hop out of bed, pull on my bean boots and join that woman- out of Z Fabrics and down the street, where maybe we would get a cup of coffee and a scone.


P.S. It's spring time, I know. We'll return to that tomorrow.
Goodnight Bloggers,
C.

  2. i think it is the focal point is off center over the Z but it never really clears up. i also think it is because it is contrasting the white with the darker colors in the rest of the picture. it's also fairly dense, with layers and changes in depth from top to bottom and left to right.
