a new angle

My greatest fear when taking photographs is to be cliché. In order to overcome that fear I decided that my challenge this week would be to photograph Rittenhouse Square. The square is beautiful and in my fresh eyes, a centerpiece to the city. It would be *exceptionally* easy to get cliché photos here, so I set out to find a new angle.

In the end, I decided that although the park is quite rich with beautiful greenery, statues, and fountains, it’s the people that congregate in the square that make it so special.

Here’s what I came up with.

  2. There's a professional photographer I really like who photographs padlocks everywhere she travels. Your lock picture made me think of it. I like the idea of picking one thing and shooting it in different incarnations.
    Miss you!
