The sparkling drops of water flew through the air. Between the sound of seagulls and waves was the sound of a shutter clicking. Once, twice, thrice. It'd click repeatedly and repeatedly on the sprays of the waves. Had to make sure they were all in focus. That the shutter speed was fast enough. And most of all, that the spray just plain ol' looked good.
I traveled to Nashville last year on a trip with a friend. When I went again this year, I discovered that Music Row is not the bright, neon crowds of Broadway, but far away. Broadway is just Nashville's tourist row, and it is good at what it does. Attracting hundreds of thousands on New Years and the preceding night, it was like one giant, ongoing party. The colors stretch all the way down the street with tourists, people seeking to sell newspapers and goods, and everyone else in the city.
Sometimes, I look at something, and think, "Gee, that's really nice. But what if it were turned sideways?" That's how this picture came to be. There's this statue of a Highway Patrolman out in Clayton, NC, at the police department. On the outside of the building, it's a sculpted 3D statue about 10' high. On the inside, they left it as carved-out negative space. I saw this, and lay on my back to see the above version of the statue. I love how it became a deep canyon with a simple angle change.
