We all live in our own little world. Some people’s worlds might be the entire city where they live, crisscrossing it on a daily basis. For others, the world might be their community or neighbourhood. And for those bound to home or a care facility due to illness or frailty, the world might be very small indeed. No matter the size of your world, there can be much to see. Discoveries can be found in what may seem at first glance the most mundane of surroundings. Someone confined to one room might see the spectacular pattern of foliage the sun casts on a wall, the sparkle of light reflecting off a drinking glass, the rich wood grain of a particular plank in oak floorboards. Someone else might travel the breadth of their city without finding a single thing they felt was worthy of their notice. How can this be? It is not perhaps the world you have to draw from, but rather the eyes that see it — or don’t. What will you see today?
Haunting photograph Dale...very Hitchcock. Love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Micheep, I was surprised how the shadows cast by an object can provide such a clear image of the original.
