Since the arrival of my Nikon D40, I’ve attempted to find a new theme of perspectives to test my hypothesis that I indeed have an eye for photography.  Big words coming from an amateur.  However, I do seem to be more willing to try new angles while shooting, or at least finding subjects beyond my comfort zone of flowers, trees, and waterscapes.

I dug this right away because of the color contrasts, but the absence of all but one swing, no kids, a lone, empty bench, and a small slide in the corner was just as poignant for me.  So, what creative lessons can I share in this post?  Not sure that was the purpose, but in hope that someday more people will visit and explore my site, I leave it for debate purposes.
