For a few months I’ve wanted to take a photo at this construction site because of the geometric patterns or should I say “squares”…or should I say almost squares lol. Finally, on my way to the gym Sunday morning, I stopped to take this photo.
Please check out Leanne Cole’s blog later for the entire gallery.

Thank you so much Samiya. I’ve never done it yet I always have though I wanted to, so I’m glad it turned out ok. It’d probably be fun to try more.

The sun, shadow, and doorway nicely frame your squares. Good composition.
October 21, 2014 at 7:52 am
Thank you so much. It’s always fun to try new things and to see what works.
October 21, 2014 at 3:40 am
Well I think the photo is brilliant, but that you go to gym with your camera is even better…. can we expect a few photos from there ?? … lol

Thanks Rob. I did once a long time ago after my first knee replacement but it was just with my iPhone. hahahaha https://lauramacky.wordpress.com/2013/07/02/habits-and-perseverance/

Mondarian in monchrome.
October 21, 2014 at 7:55 am
OMG…why didn’t I think of that as a title. That is superb!!! I think I will change it on my smugmug. Thank you!

I love the various intersecting lines you can see at construction sites. Nice!
October 21, 2014 at 7:57 am
Me too! They are usually never empty and available for me to get to easily like this. Thank you Dan 🙂
October 21, 2014 at 6:33 am
Big like on this one. Very me too.
October 21, 2014 at 8:03 am

Great eye! I love geometrical imagery…your black and whites rock!
October 21, 2014 at 8:05 am
Thank you Sharon. I loved seeing all those patterns. Victor Rakmil said it was Mondarian in Monochrome, so I changed the title on my photo website because that’s just too good to pass over.
October 21, 2014 at 7:26 am
Superb and beautifully captured
October 21, 2014 at 8:06 am
Thanks so much! Fun to try new things. 😀
October 21, 2014 at 8:07 am
By the way….is it me or are your posts set so we can’t like or comment?
October 21, 2014 at 11:50 am
Laura if you click on the comment section you should be able to leave a comment. I’ve not had any other visitors now there’s a problem.
October 21, 2014 at 12:22 pm
Oh…I see it now…it’s just a different format. Tnx 🙂
October 21, 2014 at 8:16 am
Great patterns and framing (no pun intended)
October 21, 2014 at 8:53 am
Thanks! I love puns. 🙂

Perfect light for this shot – glad you took this
October 21, 2014 at 10:06 am
Thank you Robert. Fun, this challenge!
October 21, 2014 at 10:54 am
Not the least of which is getting everything squared up!
October 21, 2014 at 12:21 pm
hahahaha…I’m trying not to “box” myself in hehe
October 21, 2014 at 10:18 am
I love light and dark and nice, clean angles. You captured it all; good work!
October 21, 2014 at 12:18 pm
Thank you!
October 21, 2014 at 10:46 am
Nice job! I like it. First thing that came to mind was “It’s hip to be square!”
October 21, 2014 at 12:20 pm
haha I love that…hip to be square! Thanks Jamie 🙂

I cant wait to go through the images. Your falls image is spectacular!!
October 21, 2014 at 1:25 pm
I like how the shadows wrench the photo in a new direction, diagonal to the rest 🙂
October 21, 2014 at 1:58 pm
Thank you robert!
October 21, 2014 at 3:57 pm
De nada.
October 21, 2014 at 3:19 pm
I love your black and white work Laura! By the way, have you had any challenges uploading posts since WordPress started this new format today? Cheers, Rob
October 21, 2014 at 3:39 pm
Thank you so much Rob :). I havent done any updating today. I had that post scheduled to post at 2 am this morning and havent touched it since except to comment on others blogs. Im afraid to ask now. I notice the IOS app no longer auto correxts. 😦
October 21, 2014 at 6:33 pm
Wonderful lines and shadows.
October 22, 2014 at 7:45 am
Thanks Tim 🙂
October 22, 2014 at 9:16 am
You are welcome. I hope you are continuing to get back on your feet and out shooting again.
October 21, 2014 at 6:52 pm
Love it when a plan come together 😉
Such a great shot Laura with all it’s rectangles and light and shade.
Victor is right.. Mondrian indeed!!
October 22, 2014 at 7:48 am
Thank you so much! I renamed it Mondarian Monochrome over on my photo website. Thanks Victor lol.
October 22, 2014 at 2:31 am
It’s a delightful composition with beautiful light. And I love you that have processed the image as a black and white. Simply beautiful.
October 22, 2014 at 7:49 am
Thank you so much Otto. I really appreciate it.

I have noticed that you take your camera most everywhere you can. This is something that I can’t seem to do. I shoot a Pentax K10D with 5 other Lens’s. I also have a Nikon P600 that I just purchased. Shooting in B&W is something that I have mixed emotions about. B&W I do like, but I think that it has it’s place. I do use it at times, but I’m pretty much a color person. With B&W you loose all the color that is in the photo, to make it more dramatic. In my blog, I will post some B&W images that I’ve taken at a later date.
October 22, 2014 at 7:50 am
Well, my camera is usually in the trunk of my car so it’s with me by default if I’m in our car. lol I’m normally a color person as well. This is a monochrome challenge that takes place once a week. I think taking B&W once in awhile helps to see things in a different way which can only help me in the long run. Thanks for stopping by!
October 22, 2014 at 12:26 pm
a construction site into a work of art!! I love the linear composition, the perspective and the light coming through the doorway- everything!! Great work Laura and yes, something different!!
October 22, 2014 at 1:43 pm
Thank you so much! It’s fun to “see” new things and try to get it across in an image. The MMC forces me to do that so it’s kinda fun each week to come up with something new.
November 8, 2014 at 8:26 pm
As a long-time construction worker and amateur photographer, I can really appreciate your post here, and you did a great job with it. Thanks for the view.

Thanks so much! I used to manage them 🙂
