Just something I’m looking out for these days – a combination of interior and exterior shots. Unfortunately I only had my iPhone (and it’s the original – soooo old!) but I think I will have to revisit this site and take another look at this abandoned space in midtown through a better lens.

I often hear that a photographer should always get closer to the subject, both physically and psychologically. The results are typically more interesting and engaging. While I agree and strive to do just that, I am also a firm believer in some breathing room, depending on the image one wants to create. Space around the subject can be just as important to the story and/or mood of the image. Just as in graphic design, white or negative space can be an integral and effective part to what takes place inside the frame.

This cold weather belongs in the can.
