weekly photo challenge: shine
Nancy’s photo challenge for this week is: Shine, “Has the sunshine or any other light source caused you to stop because it’s highlighting something you didn’t notice before?”
The design of this building; that is, the way it’s structure invited light and shadow to play with it’s mirrors and windows, not only caused me to stop it also invited me to revisit the building at different times of the day to “be in awe” of how it reflected ongoing changes of the weather as well as the sun’s journey.

Seeing Differently: “it’s a wrap”
…once someone had been in your life – you could keep that person there despite the agony of loss, as long as you had faith that you could bring the sum of all your hours together in one shining moment.

To see we must first forget the name of the thing we are looking at.

I have found that shifting focus towards a shop window invites me to See Differently.

It is not just a matter of opinion to which everyone has an equal entitlement to speak (and have us listen) about how things happen or are happening, when what happened or how it happened is puzzling or obscure.

I find it interesting to explore how a wide open f-stop invites us to See Differently

…our ordinary vision is limited…our conventional consensus of reality is not the only version of reality…the mind…in its attempt to provide meaning (security), continually rearranges the world to fit individual needs. The failure to recognize the constructive nature of the mind can be a major obstacle to artistry and creativity.
~Tao of Photography, Gross & Shapiro

weekly photo challenge: local
Within the local Rocky Mountains, memories of my childhood slumber. A drive from eastern Colorado to the western slope on Interstate 70 will awaken memories of Sunday drives over the Rockies’s treacherous passes made even more perilous with my parents in front speaking with each other and every so often to one of us four children in the back…in sign language…which requires, far way too many moments, eyes diverted from the narrow and curved roadways bordered by sudden falloffs that disappeared into deep valleys. Yet, again and again my heart was captured and my anxiety abated by the beauty of nature forever changing within the movement of days and seasons.

…photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something in an ordinary place … it has little to do wit the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.
