Seeing 2011 (#52)

For your consideration: an unexpected, spontaneously discovered tableau resplendent with texture, structure, and subtle surprises . . .

This scene exemplifies what I consider to be extemporaneous vision: spotted as I was trailing my family to our car at the end of a morning spent in the Campbell Farmer's Market scene, the backside of this building presented itself in high relief due to my sheer good fortune of passing by when the Sun was nearly directly overhead -- its acutely angled rays drawing out maximum effect for nuanced surfaces and shadows.

The moment par excellence is completed by a confluence of compositional serendipity of subjects within the frame.
