It’s so hard to be able to find the right shot when it’s cold and rainy outside. It really gets depressing after a while. Be that as it may, I did try to go out and take some shots yesterday. I ended up taking about 20 some odd pics and out of those 20 I only liked one shot. Bryan, a fellow photographer I met from flickr.com, and I went out to Glendale and tried to capture some city life. It was cloudy all day and the light being cast made everything look dull. I did my best and here’s the outcome:

“Canvas”

I’m calling this “canvas” because it looks like the branches and pipes are on this piece of huge canvas that is the wall. I like this because the straightness of the inorganic pipes totally contradicts the crooked ways and varied directions of the organic branches. Also the single pipe in the center (along with the pipes on the bottom left) are surrounded (but not necessarily engulfed) by the branches which kind of makes a statement of how although the material things are what we see at the moment, the underlying importance is that of life. Life is what created these material things.

What do you think? Am I just blowing steam out of my ass?
