Thank you, Laura, for hosting this World Photography Day event. This picture is taken from the inside of the art gallery at the Mandurah Performing Arts Centre, a place I visit frequently. The photo doesn’t really reflect my favourite photographers: Saul Leiter, Fred Herzog, Harry Callahan or Todd Hido; although Todd Hido’s dictum to “photograph like a documentarian and print like a painter” is one that is often in the forefront of my mind when the camera is in my hand. I’m attracted to shadows, to buildings and to details.

Sorry this was a late submission. Real life got in the way.

very eye catching. I do love an unexpected or discovered reflection.
“Life don’t talk to me about life” as someone used to say ( was it Red Dwarf or Hitchhikers Guide to the galaxy?)
Hoping that life gets put to the background a little more often than it has been for you and me and well everyone.

I like the tension created by the geometric accents, colors, and reflections in the image, as well as the interplay of light and shadow.

Belated HWPD, Old Owl!

I like the visible shadows; they spark the imagination regarding the building and its features

Sehr schön, wie das Licht hereinfällt, der Schatten an der Wand und die Spiegelung auf der Tür - ein wirklich gelungenenes Gesamtbild.

This is a wonderful image. I love how the angles in the reflection on the door flow into the lines of the shadow on the wall outside the door. And the color tone is delightful. Fun to include the running person above the door to emphasis the title of your work! *smile*

I think you definitely have the print like a painter from Todd Hido’s dictum in your head. I would say the color tone here reflects that.

Happy (belated) World Photography Day!
