Then I started walking around the premises... there were lots of beautiful walls, corners, towers that looked like a beautiful subject; but the feeling I got was a sense of desolation... like a scene from the past that had somehow lost its meaning or purpose. The inner court was beautiful, but deserted. And then I saw this modern glass door, right in the distinctive shadowline in the old wall... like a dividing point between two worlds and eras... and I waited till someone appeared in the reflection of that door to bring the scene to life, and took the shot. It tells exactly what I wanted to say with it, and how I felt at the moment...
I know this is a very individual approach, and the shot won't appeal to many, but it's how I like to approach photography... and that has meaning to me. I do agree that only very attentive and sensitive viewers will see something in this, but you can be sure that they do exist..;o)))
