Don’t Follow the Crowd

Don't follow the crowd. Be different. Follow your own path. Think outside of the box. Be the black sheep. The list of cliches goes on and on and on.

So for today I wanted to create some sort of minimalist abstract representation of that. Day 323 of my 365 photo a day project. Copyright 2016 Scott Norris Photography scottnorrisphotography.com

Don’t follow the crowd.  Be different.  Follow your own path.  Think outside of the box.  Be the black sheep.

Another Vent in the Wall

Another Vent in the Wall

With apologies to Pink Floyd, here is just another vent in the wall.  Why do simple, minimal scenes like this fascinate me so?

The Glass Tower on Downer Avenue

This concrete and glass “tower” sits on the corner of Downer Avenue and Bellview Place on the East Side of Milwaukee.  I’ve tried shooting this many times and have never really captured the shot I wanted.
