Joining Forces - My Story

A few months ago (time certainly flies!), a friend and I took pictures together in DC. We had such a terrific time, that we decided to do it again. I was hoping we could go back into the city, but there were a few issues: 1) The Metro wasn't running too well, due to construction and 2) I wasn't feeling well. I therefore suggested to my friend that we stay in the area. I'm not sure if he thought it was a good idea or not, but he went along with me.

We found ourselves in a quiet, residential neighborhood. Our mission? To take abstract/macro pictures only. We didn't do a bad job! Here are my favorite shots:











Some comments, aside from the fact that only one of these pictures is actually colorful:

1) The first and second remind me of the futility of winter, but for different reasons.

2) For some reason, the third picture reminds me of a prison. Maybe it's because there are numbers, I don't know - but it looks kind of eerie.

3) The fourth picture is actually a reflection - if you look closely, you can see windows. Those windows were part of a house. It was really interesting, because the house itself was only windows (to a great extent).

4) This last picture (the only colorful one) was taken off of a construction sign.

I used my macro lens. How did my friend fare? Was he able to take similar pictures? Till tomorrow!
