Corner Life

Corner LifeSometimes we find a tool or a technique that we like and are successful with so we try to use it on everything.  What do you think a house would look like if the carpenter decided that he would only use a pipe wrench to construct an entire building because that tool had worked so well when he put together some pipes?  Innovate, but don’t get stuck in a rut.  Experiment, try new things but use the right tool for the job.

This photograph of some interesting architecture has nice dappled lighting  that adds texture to the surfaces of the facade.  There are also shadows of palm trees which tells us something about the local.  The woman on the cell phone and the Starbucks sign tells a story about modern life.

The photographer may want to ask themselves why the image is tilted.  Perhaps it is because they wanted the man to be walking across the bottom of the frame rather than the side walk.  Rather than giving the composition tension or movement the tilted image just looks tilted.
