I took this shot shortly after visiting the Elliott Erwitt "Paris Sera Toujours Paris" display in Ginza on Tuesday. I generally don't find galleries interesting, as they often leave me wondering if I'm just too obtuse to "get it", to understand what the artists are trying to share.
However Mr. Erwitt's images didn't leave me feeling that way. I found his pictures fun, everyday slices of life that we don't always pay attention to, but most can instantly relate to.
I left the gallery with a bit more sparkle, and tried to look more openly at my surroundings, ending up with this #creative366project shot. It's not particularly special, but it's a reminder (to me at least) that it's all in the way you look at things; that there can be unexpected elements in the most random places.
It's hard for me to continuously be "open" to capturing the moments around me. I get tired after a long day at work, the rainy weather makes me want to rush back home and curl up in bed rather than going out and facing the elements. So it's good to be reminded every now and then that we actually need to step out and open eyes – and minds.
Hope ya'll are having a good Thursday night/Friday morning, wherever you are. 🙂
