Bueller? Bueller?

Just out of curiosity--because I'm worse than a kid at Christmas trying to sneak a peak at the wrapped up presents under the tree with my name on them--has anyone taken on my photo challenge? If so, how are the results coming along?

Merely curious.

Perspective / Interpretation / Description: A Challenge

Last week, Brian left a comment on my blog wherein he said he wished he had my eyes. When I read his writing I wish I had his eyes. That started me thinking about how we each perceive something we see. It made me think about Kevin's observation about his photos and how people love them for the wrong reasons. Or, at least, love them for the reasons he doesn't. It made me think of Andrea and the time I photographed a discarded fork on a street that had been flattened by a passing car. I thought it was junk. She said she could make art out of it. Now, when I'm out walking and I see what is ostensibly litter, I wonder what Andrea would make out of it.

Here's the challenge: The photo above is one I took at the Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens in southeast Washington a year or so ago. If you're interested, I'd love to see how you'd create this in paint, mixed media collage, as a photograph of something else you've seen that reminded you of this photo, in writing, or whatever.

My point in this challenge is, we each have a respective set of eyes through which we view the world. How do you describe your world and what you're seeing to others? How does what you see inspire you and how does that inspiration manifest itself in your medium?

There's no obligation or deadline on this challenge. But if you do take this picture and do something with it, I'd love to see the results!
