Rabbit Hole

Metals chairs stacked outside a Center City Philadelphia Cafe.. What attracted my attention was the repeating patterns the stacked chairs make. The form along with some early morning light created the stark contrast. This would most likely would not have been the case had it been later in the day with the sun directly overhead. I encourage you to get up early and shoot, doesn't matter what you shoot as long as you're paying attention to the early morning light. Learn to 'see' light.

This flower was from Mother's Day in an arrangement I gave to my wife. I shot this single flower next to the window. The green in the background is from the grass outside. I lightened the petals in the center of the flower and shifted the color to enhance the yellow and bring out a warm tone. Hope you like it.

I spotted a cracked storefront window. The early morning light was striking at the
right angle to light up the cracks and only a small portion of the store inside. I
used GIMP to saturate the color and adjusted the levels to bring out more of the
white in the cracks. I was not specifically looking for this shot. I just happened upon
it and liked the contrasting light, shadows, and color.
