This photo actually wasn’t premeditated. My career is in Landscape Architecture, and I often visit sites when writing proposals. This particular photograph is from a site on the Villanova University campus and I had no intention of taking any artistic photos that day. Ordinarily, with a shot like this, I would’ve preferred to use a Circular Polarizer - but I didn’t have it with me. I still think it turned out okay, but it could’ve been better.

I learned something and was reminded of another from this photograph. First, I learned that I should always travel with my complete kit (filters included). As I mentioned, this photograph would’ve been much better if I had my filters handy. As for the reminder - when I have my camera with me, I need to continuously look out for opportunities: Up, down, all around. This particular window was a dormer window on the fourth story (attic) of the theater building, Vasey Hall. Never would’ve seen it if I didn’t let my eyes wander.

PS - my charger arrived, so my laptop is back in action.
