Some days the drive to work or jog around the neighborhood seems full of great photographic opportunities - the way the light bounces off a building or a shadow rests along a wall makes an ordinary scene appear unordinary and worthy of capturing with a camera. Some days are full of vibrant colors that seem to make for frameable pictures everywhere you look. On some gray days you might have the time to search out the little delicacies and subtleties that otherwise go hidden by vibrant colors and contrasting shadows that steal the attention of my camera lens.Today was none of those days.
Emily and I both struggled to find pictures today (to the point where one of us did a little "dance of frustration," which in itself might have made for a great picture of the day). But when all else fails, you can always try a little creativity.
This glass, half filled with water (or is it half empty?) gave some interesting perspective to a friendly face, and after a minute or two of experimentation a pleasing final product was reached.
Taking a picture today might have proven to be a bit of a struggle, but tomorrow I'll be seeing the world in a brand new, ready-to-be-photographed light -- as sure as my glass is half full.
