The intersection of my dining room
wall and the floor.
We love to talk about gear so much it's easy to forget how important it is, every once in a while, to just put down the test chart mindset and look around at the world. I was under the weather last week so when I got bored I puttered around the house and looked at what the insides looked like in the middle of the day. I like the way the reflections from the sun on the tiles cast cool swirls into the middle tone shadows on the wall. But I also liked the strong shadows on either side.

That reminds me of an interview Charlie Rose did with Cartier-Bresson. Charlie asked how he chose the moment to make a photograph. Answer - "The geometry was right".
Great geometry in this one.
My girlfriend would roll her eyes at this post. Every now and then she catches me staring at the wall, watching a shadow or beam of light dance like I used to when I was a kid, poking around with my sister's 110. My camera's gotten heavier and costs more than I ever thought I'd spend on one, but all that doesn't matter a bit. The feeling's the same.
Kirk, the more I look at and enjoy your pictures, the more I think of Irving Penn. Is he one of your heroes? Goff
It's only the shadow that gives it away -- the 90 degree intersection.
Goff,
You mean there ARE photographers who AREN"T big fans of Irving Pen? Are they blind?
