    Nicely unbalanced lines and forced indifference. Earthquakes have a place in a thought through shot. Part of something?

    No, this was just a one-off kind of shot with my cellphone. And I'm not really sure why I like it, or why it keeps growing on me. I could say it's the color - the door, the scarf, the complimentary blue/red - or the shadow - which is hers, not his or that it looks like a polaroid, a family album kind of shot, with something more, a bit of alienation to it. But I don't know. It just has something of an undefinable authenticity to it perhaps. A real moment with no decisive moment. Like Seinfield, it's a photo about nothing, except it isn't. I just like it.

    Great color. Great light. Good composition - nice lines. It's definitely about something, and is very evocative. Nice.
