I like how each of these four details has its own special character. The first, as I see it, is about shadows; the second about textured shapes; the third—the least abstract—about a wall with a window, shadow, and reflection; the fourth about rectangles and especially about the four windows within the panes of a window. A lovely series.
Thanks Linda, I like the way you said that. It felt like playing jazz when I shot this group – thirty pictures in maybe fifteen minutes. For me, that sort of shooting is visceral.
There’s so much to keep one’s interest here – the various textures, the shadow, the rust color, the wood, and then the perfect geometry of that wonderful reflection. A great series, John, and it was good to read your reply to Linda. It’s interesting to learn something about the photographer’s experience while s/he was behind the camera.
Thanks Lynn. When shooting this one, I decided open up the aperture so that the 4 windows in the back are slightly out of focus. Not sure why, but I think it conveys more of a narrative feeling…
I do like the way you introduce it with details and then slowly zoom out.
Thanks for the comment. It seemed like an interesting juxtaposition, scrolling to the previous picture.
Fantastic.
Thanks Ed 👋

Each one seems so complete … and then you share another! Amazing as a collection as well as individually.
Thanks Donna, nice to hear from you
Glad to compliment your photos ~
