Saturday morning I wandered around a bit, but the cold weather and afternoon plans kept me located to my neighborhood. After shooting a few things outside, I decided to head to the botanical garden. I originally started shooting with macro gear, then shooting the trains in the holiday displays, but nothing was working.

As I was leaving, I started to look at things a bit differently and noticed the light reflecting nicely through the panes of glass that separate the rooms. After a few test shots, I finally found something that was working and that I hadn’t really shot before.

When I first started out in design, my aesthetic gravitated toward a grungy, unrefined style. Something about that feeling I like to naturally find in photography.

Note: I went ahead and made the second photo a wallpaper for your computer. You can download the photo at 1024×768, 1600×1200 and1856×1392.
