I couldn't quite get the angle on this building I wanted. I had several lenses on me to choose from, but none could get the width to photograph this building from up close. Later, on a Ferris Wheel, I noticed I had the angle I wanted. Equipped only with a Canon Rebel T5i and a Canon 75-300mm f/4.5-5.6 lens, I had to shoot through a hazy plastic window with dimming light. Even so, I managed to catch this building at an angle that perfectly mirrored my vision for it.
I'd never seen nor heard of Americasmart before this month. I had the chance to visit Atlanta, Georgia, for the first time ever, and the sides of one of the buildings caught my eye as we passed by. I really liked the stair cases going up each corner, but the real interesting sight was what they looked like from below. To me, it looked like a path to a particularly strange path to a unique structure. I really liked the way the stair path took on the look of shadows instead of gaps.
I find it hard to believe that I've never been to the Eno River State Park in Durham County. I've lived here all of my functional life, and in all twenty of those, have never checked it out. It was very reminiscent of this time my parents took me to a river out in California. Lots of shallow pools and miniature falls, and lots of places to go out and play in. Snakes play in the water, too. A family of kids started freaking out as a tiny, adorable thing went past them, desparately holding its head over the waters. The father caught it in a butterfly net and moved it a few ponds over so that it could safely escape into the woods.
