On October 18th I attended a workshop put on by the photography club that I belong to in San Diego, Polyphoto Club. The purpose of the workshop was to teach us to take the time to really "look" at something in order to see the beauty in "everyday" and "ordinary" things. Perhaps as a result of this workshop, I took the time to look at the sunlight this afternoon streaming though a set of venetian blinds to cast these shadow patterns onto a piece of varnished wood. I've probably looked at this hundreds of times in the past without "seeing" it. I'm not saying that this is a beautiful photograph, but what I "saw" was beautiful enough to get my attention.
