Beauty in all things

or at least something of interest!
I recently took on an assignment to do something I have never done in my life! I am a portrait photographer - you know, babies, mothers, children, families, even dogs! - but I was asked to take some "portraits" of someone else's handicraft in the form of commercial building lighting. I am not sure I rank amongst the world's best "building light" photographers, but the experience did confirm something that photography has taught me in general, over and over again. There is beauty in everything if you just pay attention - and setting your camera, tripod, backing up and getting in close to get different views - these all MAKE you pay attention. Whether it is the beauty in the crook of a newborns curled up legs or the beauty in some abstract piece of building lighting!
