I snapped this photo almost a year ago, didn’t much like it at the time, and filed it away. Last night, while engaged in some long-overdue organizing, the image popped out at me in ways I hadn’t noticed before. Life’s like that sometimes—something unnoticed one day can resonate the next. Photographed on Main Street in Lake Placid, New York, May 11, 2013. Higher resolution versions of this photo can be viewed at 500px.com.

This picture is amazing! Thanks so much for visiting my blog and for the like, it means a lot coming from someone who takes amazing shots.
You are too kind—you work is wonderful, and I look forward to following you and seeing more!
It’s why I don’t delete photos unless they are blurry or ridiculously over or under exposed.. You just never know what you’ll find once you’ve stepped away from them for a while. Beautiful shot 🙂
Well said! Thank you, Livonne. 🙂
Hi Kenn. I very much like your text that goes with that colorful picture of yours.
Happy writing and breathing 🙂

Thank you, Hanna—I’m so glad you liked both the picture and the words. Your very kind comment brought a smile to my face. 🙂

I am jealous of colors:)) very nice photo!
Ha! I see colors and snap photos of them. You, on the other hand, start with a blank canvas and create pictures and colors with your hands. Who is jealous of whom? (Thank you, though, for the very sweet comment!)
I understand that feeling all too well, many times I will think nothing of a photo but when I look at it again I find unnoticed beauty in it.
Indeed. There’s never any harm—and often a lot to be gained—in going back and taking a second look. Thanks, Jennifer, for taking the time to comment.
I think it is the colours that first grab you Ken and then the combinations of vertical and diagonal lines which all come together in an excellent composition 🙂
Thank you, David, for your very kind words—much appreciated!
The colors definitely pop!
All credit goes to the fresh red paint. 🙂
REAL glad you held onto this, Kenn.
It really is wonderful.
You just never know! 🙂
You never know—amen to that! Thank you, Lisa.
I’m pleased you kept and then post it. I really like the colors. I don’t remember them being there when I visited many years ago. Maybe too many to remember.
Thank you, Tim. I got lucky with the colors. All the reds were freshly painted, which, combined with the colors from the Ben & Jerry’s, was why I snapped the photo. At the time, though, I think I was more interested in capturing the many landscapes in that neck of the woods, so I probably paid too little attention to how this one turned out. Glad you like it.
Kenn, you are welcome. I was also going to comment that I’d not seen you posting too much over a fairly long period of time. Then a couple recently, If I’m right about that, I’m glad your back.
Tim
Thanks again, Tim. I’m working on a second book (unrelated to photography), and my writing (when I’m in the thick of it) tends to monopolize my time. I do, however, try to come up for air periodically, so as not to let the lens get too dusty.
