For some--not me!-the Dreaded Mal is a playground. This photos has two kinds of lines: the ones created by the trellis over the Starbucks outlet in the center of the mall, and the ones formed by people waiting for their coffee. If you enlarge it, it's kind of a slice of life. I especially like the lovey-dovey couple at the top center. Camera iPhone 4s, taken with Hipstamatic, further processing with PhotoToaster
I have to admit that there was a time when I loved going to the mall....however, those days are long gone and now I avoid it as much as possible! Like how you fit this to the theme. Also like your bird's-eye view...nicely presented.
I'm with you on this one...I'm not a shopping fan so Malls are a place I avoid as much as possible....I do like the candid nature of the image though ;)
Love this take, Bobbie - there are lines and then there are lines... Well seen and nice connection to the theme. I like how you presented it in B&W too - simplifies an otherwise very busy scene.
...is to fill 52 themes, one a week for the year. Some weeks, maybe I'll try to find several photos to fit the themes. Others, I may spend more time trying to perfect one that seems best to represent the theme. Three years of a photo-a-day opened my eyes, now I want to hone my skills.
Somehow, a camera allows me to see more deeply and awakens the eye. For me, undertaking these year-long challenges is a way to become more aware of the world that swirls around me.
I like the guy on the phone, too. I've probably been in this mall ... one of my cousins is a shopper.
