In The Neighborhood

The other day I decided to take a walk through the neighborhood.  Like most developments, everything is planned out with winding streets and culdesacs, which photographically are not very visually appealing.

What my eye focused on was the curves of the streets and the shapes of the houses as they were bathed in side lighted sunlight.  I basically made the images black and white in order to accent the light and lines that met my eyes.  So this is my short photographic walk through my neighborhood and what I saw.

All images shot using a Sony A7II camera and a kit lens.  Images were converted to black and white in Photoshop.

 

Catching the Light

 

Long days where light and shadows kiss

And light stretches across the floor 

In a never ending line ending on a distant wall

Where a shadow seems to move in rhythm 

As one try’s to catch the light.

Light moves quickly and the shadows are sure to follow.  And, as it creeps through cracks in the blinds, a dance begins with its partner the darkness.   The light dances across the walls and floors in a never ending dance forming shadowy shapes.

Alfred Stieglitz, the photographer said, “Where there is light one can photograph.”  Yes that is true, but first you must see the light.  This blog is about observing the light and shadows it creates during one day I spent observing it within my space.  

All images were made using a Sony A7II camera using natural window light.
