Windows
See through walls
Behind them windows
So many floors
Hard to know
Where the cool people go

Day Seven: “Big” — A Point of View
Today, let’s go big. Photograph something of massive size, inside or outside. Get creative with your shot: Capture all or just part of the subject. Place it in the foreground so it takes up the entire frame. Or shoot it from afar so it appears smaller — yet still prominent.
“We shape our buildings; thereafter they shape us” Winston Churchill

A tall glass house of blue
Possibly quite see through
Hardly qualified as a skyscraper
But with many a
Windows, doors and elevators
It’s easily a wannabe simulator

Posted in week #13 of Camera Lucida Photo Challenge, Reflections
“It’s always interesting to look at reflections…are they really the same as the reality?
How many times did you look at your own reflection and wondered if that’s how the world sees you…?”
“The world is a looking glass and gives back to every man the reflection of his own face”
William Makepeace Thackeray
Camera Lucida: Reflections
Glass, wood, concrete
How this scene to complete?
Add a dash of colour
Maybe a selfie to follow?
Through the looking glass
Time slowly will pass
The observer’s delight
Is the turning of the light
Scenery, water, skies
Even a high rise
At this altitude
The surprise is an absolute

Photo 101: Day 20: Day Twenty: Triumph & Contrast
Just black, white or gray
May lead you astray
But find the right contrast
And you may suddenly gasp
At the wonderful blast
Of colours beaming your way
Even on a dull, rainy day
