The Lines That Lead To A Citizen's Duty
May 14, 2023 04:04:46 #
A few years ago the Senior Center, which is our usual voting place was being remodeled so we had to go to the Old City Hall to vote. And a citizen has the duty to learn about elections and vote. If you don't take part you have no right to complain when results aren't to your tastes. After all you left it to other people to decide for you.
Well, being Southern California our city complex is largely Spanish/Moorish in style. Open path ways, arches, stucco in warm tones. It actually started life as a high school long ago, then became the City Hall and Police Station and is now offices for some city departments.
Here is the way you walked from the parking area to the office they had turned into a polling place. The lines lead you right there and the afternoon sun gave the whole thing a warm golden glow.

Since 2010 when I got it at Costco that little camera has lived in a shirt pocket (I like 2 pocket shirts), light photo vest or jacket pocket so when I leave the house it goes with me "just in case".
I did run the image through Picassa and Photo Shop for reediting and changed it to a tighter 1:1 crop

I like the leading lines converging on the door where the person is seated. Good eye!

Makes a nice black and white with a little tweaking of the contrast.

Tried it, but I like the gold glow, after all this is the "Golden State".

This one was all about lines and light. Before I took the picture the glare/contrast and the fact I just walked in from the very sunny parking area I didn't even realize someone was sitting there.
