Behind The Lens

Location

I took this as I walked along Airport Way in the Georgetown neighborhood of Seattle, Washington. I was working and didn’t have my camera, but phones are always handy these days.

Time

I’m guessing this was close to 5pm. Lots of auto traffic on the way home from work, and foot traffic in and out of the many local watering holes. Summer so still broad daylight, even in the Pacific Northwest.

Lighting

Nothing too much to say here. Late afternoon sun on a city street.

Equipment

I was working, so my iPhone. Probably an iPhone 6.

Inspiration

I was working. Doing the same thing I do every day of every week of every month of every year. I stopped at an intersection to wait for traffic and looked down at my feet. I was simultaneously inspired (by the stenciled message) and appalled (by my stupid shoes) *click*

Editing

No

In my camera bag

Canon Eos T3 or something like that. A few lenses. ???????????
