I remember in one of my photography classes in college we were encouraged not to look through the lens but rather to just shoot. I remember being taught to shoot from the hip (literally) and I remember learning to pick a shot and photograph it from many different angles (getting down on the ground, standing on a chair etc). This photograph was taken at my parent's house. This is a view I've seen over and over and over. One could argue that there is nothing particularly magnificent about this photo but none the less I took this photograph in about 7 or 8 different ways and wasn't sure what I would get (if anything). I deleted them all but this one. Believe it or not...I loved the colors. I love the brown and black, the blue, the green, the white and the cream. I love the warm and cool colors mixed together. I love that I can be reminded to not take an old view for granted. And most of all I love that I can find beauty (and color) where others may just see gray.
