That is Russ Burden’s standard catch-phrase, and he is soooo right!

The above image would have bored you to your knees (if you please) if captured with flat, noonday lighting. However, in the early morning hours, the same wall offers up an interesting abstract study of lines, shapes, texture, and angles.

I have heard someone say that even a toilet bowl can make for an interesting subject in the right light. ‘Tis the truth…and I ain’t just a woofin’ Dixie neither! (Thanks for that colorful quote, Mr. Reynolds, our tyrant high school bus driver.)
