An ideal assignment.

Task: Taking pictures of strangers on the street.  

I did not want to capture anyone with tattoos, body-piercings or other stereotypical markings. The theme might be clichéd a bit, but I could not resist what a Leica is designed for. Using a tele-optic, the people never even noticed me. (I did ask for their permission, so they were aware of me, but did not pay attention to what I was doing). I am sure that by spending more time on this assignment, I could have captured some more captivating shots, but these assignments are more of a personal challenge to me rather than a chore.

Observation of a dream.

Task: Capture a photo which is inspired from an image from memory.  

While this photo does not reveal much in the way of local landmarks, I took it in my own backyard in Cleveland. The growth of several mushrooms after a few days of rain brought back some memories of childhood tales. Deep forest, mists, legendary dwarfs and elves. How many of you will associate with my thought process? I also wonder what today’s kids will recall in years to come. Can anyone one find something inspiring in their backyard about Paw Patrols?
