Urban Photography

Today I went downtown to shoot photography with a friend. It was the first time I've gotten out in a while solely for the purpose of shooting photography and it's always fun to wander and see what my eye catches. Urban photography seems to present itself as more challenging to me than nature and even portrait photography. One of the challenges for me is having the eye for subjects and composition in an urban setting. On top of that, urban settings seem to more frequently have high contrast scenes that make getting the correct exposure difficult. However, I enjoyed the trip as always and learn what I can.

Here's what caught my eye:

A colorful arched window on W. 3rd St at the RTA center.

Conduits on Front St... Conduits for electric, conduits for water, and a conduit for factory goods.Big Brother is watching.Support posts at the loading docks.
This view of the hole in the wall though the broken window appealed to me.The Fly?Toothy grin.Coon Hunting.Combo meal.Welcome to the graffiti circus.Bob was here.....
Everything urban in one shot? Brick, steel, glass, concrete, graffiti......
