THROUGH YOUR LENS # 1

I like to play around with the camera to see a thing from all angles. I come up with some pretty crazy views. I love color, texture and composition. My eye is attracted to LIGHT. I see it displayed in magnificent ways. Often, the eye is encumbered by the mundane that we fail to see the glory and beauty of simplicity.

I hope to stir up a desire in you to develop a different set of eyes. The 'whole' of something is made up the sum of it parts. The ordinary eye tends to gravitate to the familiar, rather than taking the time to see something from a different perspective. For me, it takes no less time to see the amazing in the mundane, than it does to recognize the familiar.

From time to time I will post some images that don't tell the whole story. I am inviting you to tell me what it is that you see...THROUGH YOUR LENS. Sometimes there will be hidden clues, but you'll have to look for them. I am labeling these... 'through your lens'... with the corresponding number.

After a given time, say 1 week, I will post the whole photo - in the successive post. These will be labeled ... 'and through mine'... with the corresponding number.

This will be fun for me. I hope you find it enjoyable too. It is something that even the kids can participate in. I'm hoping my 4 grandchildren will appreciate the way I see things and be encouraged to look a little deeper.

So, with that said, HERE IS #1
