A few weeks ago, my wife passed on a Facebook challenge to me:
Seven days, seven black and white images of your life. No explanations, no humans....
This challenge had me looking at the world around me much differently--in black and white and color--and I now find myself stopping to take pictures much more frequently. As a fan of story-telling, history, religion, nature, cinematography, and the like, the view to the southwest at this intersection has always captured my attention. A photo, here, tells quite a different story in spring vs. fall, summer vs. winter. A picture from the small mound at Ground Zero, which includes the stop signs, telephone polls, and traffic, tells a different tale than a picture of just landscape and architecture from the middle of the tall grass on the southwest side of the intersection, or from one taken from various points on the southeast.
