These photos are really wet, and after walking around in the rain for about 3 hours looking for them, I am too.

This picture, I dubbed 'Waitin' in the Rain' just about sums itself up. Sweatshirt, rain-jacket AND umbrella. When waiting outside in Washington, one does not simply rely on one of these. Mechanically speaking, this image uses the rock wall as a curved leading line to lead to the subject matter. Unfortunately, I was not able to place the subject matter on any of the thirds, as it would ruin the leading lines.

The human mind is incredible. Even after imposing a wrought iron bench in the field of view, you can still connect the dots and see the picture beyond the picture. However, the self-centered bench provides detail that we might be unable to see otherwise: the hanging water droplets. Combined with the blanketing, gray sky we can connect additional dots and see that it is no longer freezing temperature, another sign that winter and spring are locked in inevitable combat. 'Super-Imposition' would have felt very unbalanced, however, the overly-confident bench provides symmetrically shaped apertures through which we see the picture. This gives the feeling of an equally balanced image.

There is so little captured in this image, yet we all know what this is a picture of, and we all know what occurs shortly after this picture. The automobile either ceases combustion and its occupants have reached their destination, or the car and its occupants leave, and who knows when you will see either again? Such is life, comparing what we know with what we do not in an attempt to predict a future with millions of factors and inconsistent outcomes. 'Destination?' is an unbalanced photo that puts all the empty space right of the subject, giving it a lonely or an unpredictable nature.

Until next time.
