Has this ever happened to you: You're always looking around for interesting subjects and stuff to photograph, going on the road, sometimes to far away places... and then suddenly, you find the most beautiful stuff there right under your nose, sitting at home... This happened to me: I was just sitting in my living room, and saw the evening light through the window cast these beautiful elegant shadows on my hand painted wall that kinda divides my room in two spaces. The light made the structure and texture of the wall stand out beautifully... and there was this old yucca that added a colorful natural counterpoint to the geometric shapes of the wall. I must have seen this scene countless times in the past few years, and only yesterday I thought of making a picture of it. And guess what... I think it's one of the most beautiful captures I have ever made... So, has anyone had similar experiences? Feel free to reply, and why not illustrated with some images?
