Inside the Matrix

Inside an elevator on a cold day in Niigata

I really should wander around with my camera more often. Rather than planning exactly what I want to photograph, I should explore and see what’s out there. It’s both liberating and challenging.

As I no longer have to pay for film and processing on each shot, I should use the opportunity to go out and shoot more (or even a lot more). I tend to notice  repetition and geometric patterns quite easily (This may have something to do with my father) which is why I took this shot. I think I read somewhere that people vary in their affinity for shapes and colors.

So my question is…. what catches your eye, shapes or colors?

    Actually for me its not shapes and colours themselves, but their juxtoposition that grabs my eye.

    Your dad’s book is pretty amazing, remember some of those patterns from primary school will have to get playing again on that. I notice lines mostly which I guess is a kind of shape thing. Bit wordy myself too, I tend to notice this juxtaposed especially light and dark. Is that a colour?
