Man on the phone

Sometimes, someone comes along and completes your composition if you are in the right place at the right time. Here, a man oblivious to me talking on his phone walked past this industrial scene and filled-in the gap between the trees creating an inverse triangle effect compositionally. Sounds complicated..., but the truth is —I just like the moment. Leica M8.2, 50mm Summicron-M, 160 ISO, 1/25 sec. f/11.
Simplicity in Shadow

Sometimes we overlook the boring, the everyday as we pass it by in our daily lives. I have written about this before — about my assertion that it is important to carry a small camera with you in your day to day more and more so that you can observe and capture more simple images. This image is nothing to brag about, but it has balance and simplicity to it I feel, how the shadow of the building reveals a simple triangle of green grass adorned with a solitary late-season Dandelion in June. I made this image out front of Photocreative, on my way in to work today with a Leica and 50mm Summicron-M, Sunny 16 Rule...1/250 sec f/11, ISO 160.
