I stand out.


Lately my 'obsession' for texture has grown to a point that it takes me forever to walk a city block. Every post, pole, fence, paper or metal object causes me to stop and look at it from a different perspective. What seems like a disregarded or forgotten object can actually become a thing of interest, and perhaps beauty. This tattered poster almost escaped my eye as it was above my head. I took a few shots and of course noticed people looking at me wondering what I was taking photos of. In turn, I wonder where they are rushing off too. Don't they know the whole city is an Art Gallery, and they should slow down and take a look?

tattered and torn


Take a post that has had thousands of posters glued or stapled on it. Add time, and a rain storm, and you have yet another example of something ordinary that can stop me and make me photograph it. It's all about the colour. This has been framed with a bold black frame and it looks great. Trash into art.
