Walking home. I’ve made many images of this house. It always seems to catch my eye. This image, however, stands out as the lighting was perfect, the framing ominous and interesting, and the b/w conversation really brings it all together. While I made this frame on a whim while walking home, it’s a prime example of the kind of image that could potentially benefit from a human touch. Perhaps it’s a person in the window or a hand behind the fence. A man on the roof would be amazing. This is an example of my internal struggle; I’m always debating with myself when it comes to the sort of images I could or should be making to maximize impact.
