Streetscape color, shapes, and texture ~ Montreal, CA • click to embiggenWhen I am out picture making, my current MO is to be especially aware of life in pictures and relationships opportunities. However, I do keep an open eye / mind for any other picture making possibilities that present themselves to my eye.

Consequently, when a walk through Montreal's Old City yielded not a single opportunity for adding to either of my ongoing series, my eye turned to other things. Shapes, color, and texture seemed to be the thing that was grabbing my attention.

FYI, all weekend, I never took the 20mm f1.7 lens off the camera. And, only on a couple of occasions - when the light required it - did I picture with anything but a wide-open aperture.
