I've never considered myself the most observant person. In fact, I must have walked by this same bike rack in the village thousands of times without a second thought. It’s funny how something so mundane can suddenly reveal its potential. Today, I finally noticed how the light hits it just right, contrasting the black rails against white walls and the way the rack recedes when you view it from a low angle. It struck me that this was a photograph waiting to be taken. This moment made me realize how often we overlook the beauty in everyday things. Being observant isn’t just about seeing with your eyes but also about experiencing with your mind and heart. Sometimes, all it takes is a slight shift in perspective to appreciate the hidden gems in our daily surroundings. So, here’s to paying a bit more attention and discovering the unnoticed wonders that have always been right in front of us.
This photograph was taken with a Leica iiiF from 1956 using Ilford HP5 that was chemically pushed to increase the grain in the image. Fort Langley British Columbia Canada
