I don't remember which building this was in, but I know it's in Mystic, CT.  I just loved the rhythmic dance of light, shadows, windows, beams and floorboards.  It must be the architect in me coming out, but it works best in B&W.  Enjoy.

More patterns and rhythms here.  Can you guess what this is?  Making it black and white enhances the focus in my mind.  Here's a clue, it was taken at sea.  Still can't figure it out.  It's a photo of the sunlight patterns cast on a bench seat in the Bistro on Five on the Celebrity Solstice cruise ship.  The restaurant has these horizontal slats running everywhere, sort of a Japanese motif, but they made for some very interesting shots.  More to come later.  Enjoy.

I have always been fascinated with curves, rhythm, lines and repetitive things.  Perhaps that's the Architect in me, but when observed with a photographers eye, things take on a different perspective.  Pun intended.  I took this with a Kodak Playsport video camera, using it's 5MP built in camera.  OK quality, but your best camera is the one you have with you.  Enjoy.
