I've wanted to photograph my hometown library for a while, but can never seem to time it right. It's quite challenging because there's very few places to set up, with the driveway directly behind me, a small front lawn with busy Main Street to the right, and some large trees and distractions like bike racks and picnic tables in front. I finally managed to stop by on my way into work the other day, before the facade-obscuring leaves fully formed. Sadly, winter was unkind to the row of little boxwoods in front, punching holes in the tops of two, and burning the leaves of the one on the right. I toyed with color but ultimately found it distracting; plus the lighting on this morning wasn't particularly cooperative. But we take what we get when we can ;-)
