I took this shot some time ago. Â I’ve been waiting for a time to post it when it has some meaning. Â I still haven’t found any good meaning…
Keep Going
I have been extremely busy the past few weeks. Â When that happens unfortunately the first thing that has to be put on the back burner is the website. Â Don’t worry though, I still find time to take pictures.
I had the opportunity to take a few pictures while in Dallas. Â I never know when I go to these meetings if I will have the time to shoot but I try as much as possible. Â This picture was taken with my new Leica 21mm Super Elmar. Â When focused, the images are razor sharp. Â It’s very compact and very easy to use. Â Anyway, I was shooting from the hip while walking trying to catch people in motion. Â 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. Â 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. Â I noticed the ceiling tiles, train doors, windows, floor tiles, and even the trash can all had a similar linear pattern. Â I felt this would be a great place to focus on the train and hope that a subject would walk through. Â Fortunately, I got lucky. Â This man carrying a piece of paper walked right where I wanted him. Â 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. Â By focusing on the train, I was able to blur the subject so the viewer could get a sense of motion.
