a different point of view

What in the world is that? Could it be a portal to another realm? No, it's just a drain pipe lined with scum.

On Friday I led a photo workshop for staff at the cultural center. One of their in class assignments was to find "the strange" by photographing from different angles and perspectives, looking for lines and shapes that make everyday objects appear extraordinary. The goal is to help them to see less literally and more abstractly, and to use their imagination. I think they did a great job and here you can view a slideshow of the results!

p.s. i included two of my photos; can you guess which ones they are???
