I took this shot some time ago. I’ve been waiting for a time to post it when it has some meaning. I still haven’t found any good meaning…
The journey home
Keep Going
I have been extremely busy the past few weeks. When that happens unfortunately the first thing that has to be put on the back burner is the website. Don’t worry though, I still find time to take pictures.
I had the opportunity to take a few pictures while in Dallas. I never know when I go to these meetings if I will have the time to shoot but I try as much as possible. This picture was taken with my new Leica 21mm Super Elmar. When focused, the images are razor sharp. It’s very compact and very easy to use. Anyway, I was shooting from the hip while walking trying to catch people in motion. I think I accomplished what I was looking for?

Motion & Symmetry
Often, photographers are attempting to find symmetry or patterns within their environment that would be eye catching. This picture is a great example.
I was standing in the airport waiting to get on one of the trains and noticed the adjacent train sitting there. I noticed the ceiling tiles, train doors, windows, floor tiles, and even the trash can all had a similar linear pattern. I felt this would be a great place to focus on the train and hope that a subject would walk through. Fortunately, I got lucky. This man carrying a piece of paper walked right where I wanted him. I love that I caught him in mid stride because his front leg, back foot, upper torso, and paper all became symmetric with the environment. By focusing on the train, I was able to blur the subject so the viewer could get a sense of motion.
