Lately I've been obsessed with photography. It is something akin to computers and small internet devices for me. There's always something new to learn, to see, to play with. There are a few things I'm obsessed with in life and they always seem to come full circle (and this is outside my obsession with work): cars, triathlon/training, photography, reading, and computers/technology. Thank goodness in the case of photography, the analogy stops with the “something new” part - i.e. in photography, you can take the same stuff and simply look at it from different angles and doesn't require spending hard earned money on a new gadget that will eventually end up in a junk drawer.
Take the screen shot of the page that got me thinking:
I don't even know whether or not this shot was taken inside or out on a street. Either way, if I can imagine what the rest of the structure looks like, I don't think I would have taken the time to think, “hey, there's a great shot to be made... the lighting, the shadows...” It makes one sit back and realize (if one even likes this stuff) that even in the most ordinary circumstances, there might be something extraordinary to behold. To me, this picture is an example of that.
