What catches your eye and makes you stop, gaze and press that shutter button? Tina has it right–shape and design. In this week’s challenge, she asks us to post images that showcase shapes and designs taken during our photographic journey. This is the first of the “Looking Back” series. See her full post here.

I’m glad to have the opportunity to post on this challenge since I hadn’t discovered the LAPC community until much later. I’m always on the lookout for shapes when I’m out with my camera whether it’s a graceful tree branch, a lazy river or building. Here are some of my finds.

I might be drawn to circles.

Shapes

As the elephant doorknob shows, we also look for the unusual. Thanks Tina for helping us realize how we choose subjects to photograph. When you respond to her post, please link back to hers and use the Lens-Artist tag.

I totally enjoyed your rejects last week. I’m left wondering why they were rejected! Next week Beth will be challenging us so look for her post. In the meantime stay safe and be resilient!

  9. Nice work here! The shapes of things – usually a bit of something – always makes me think of classical Japanese woodblocks which give a hint of something recognizable. To me, these are some of the most interesting.

    1. Thanks Ann Christine! I found the door knob in a gallery out in the countryside. The sculpture showcases his metal sculptures there. Across the road, he’s installed a sculpture of a horse–amazing! Of course, I couldn’t even afford a foot of the horse!
