The subject has to capture my interest somehow: the way the
colors and shapes play off each other, or the patterns of light
and shadow. I try to find poetry in banality.

The title of your week's work, Downtown, is to get you out shooting and walking... You need to budget at least an hour where you can be "present" with your camera as you take a walk with it... In New Haven, I can think of the alleyways off Chapel St. between Clair's Cornercopia and The Yale Rep... Any town or village has its charm though... Find reflections in store windows (move in)... Look down... what is under your feet? Look up (but don't include sky). Of course, you should use the town closest to you.
What could be more banal than a manhole cover in Middletown?????
A child would not ever make a statement like that.... It is only through the filter of our conditioned "bling" minds that makes you ignore the possibilities a child would see. Become that child as you walk... shoot a lot. Post your best work.
