Window, Trogir. © Copyright 2023 G Dan Mitchell.
Plants grow behind a small obscured-glass window in Trogir, Croatia.
As another photographer once wrote, “There’s always something to see!” We all sometimes discover that we aren’t “seeing” like we used to, and perhaps we feel like there is nothing to photograph. But there is always something. It may not be the thing you were looking for, but if you keep at it, perhaps looking in places that you don’t normally pay attention to, or possibly thinking about what you could do differently.
I was certainly not planning to photograph tiny windows with plants behind obscured glass when I went out to photograph in Trogir, Croatia last August. I was in “street photography” mode, looking for people in interesting places and poses, against the backdrop of this very old city. But by opening my eyes and taking a bit more time I was able to see things like this that are easy to overlook.

it's all about the view...literally~ I have been practicing with shooting INTO window light. I love to use window light as often as possible, but tend to shy away from placing my subject directly in front of a window. Here, my daughter was using window light to light up her objects of play and I was using it to light her up! ;)
The medieval stone church in Lammi was built in the 15th century and was dedicated to Saina Catherine of Alexandria. The whole inside of the church was destroyed in a fire in 1918 and after that was totally renovated in 1920
I took this shot on the bus, the window was a bit cracked and I thought it looked cool with the light coming through.
I had a few tags I think so I'll do some more facts here but I wont tag anyone else this time. I wouldnt want people to get annoyed haha.
1. Last night or technically early this morning I got some life changing news and its funny because I have had this feeling for a few weeks and now that I know the news I can see that they are connected. Instincts and intuition are an incredible thing that too often get pushed aside or ignored. So yes, big news that is a good thing but I am unable to discuss for a few weeks. I wanted to note my happiness and shock and belief in my gut feelings though.
2. I have booked a trip to Portland, Oregon for 4 days on the 16th. This will be my last sidetrip of this adventure. Less than 4 weeks left in Canada before I'll be home in Aus.
3. I think I might buy a dslr in portland as they have no tax apparently.. any tips on what I should be looking at?
