Posted by Damon Schreiber (Toronto, Canada) on 25 March 2007 in Cityscape & Urban and Portfolio.
An unscheduled appearance by an image that unifies the previous two. You might recall a near-neighbour of this tree.
High-res here.

I really like all the reflections, each window like a reflection of a different thought. The detais of the tree are quite wonderful.

Interesting shot, Damon-san. The lower five windows have personality in each.

@Makoto: Many thanks, Makoto-さん! I liked that look of each one being a separate compartment.
3 of 2 !? :)) Nice one!

@Behrooz: 3 of 2 because I hadn't planned the third initially. Kind of like ' the fourth book in the trilogy'... Thanks, Behrooz!
The interception of the horizontal one of the windows with the vertical of the tree to structure the composition and the reflex in the glasses to give depth of field they produce this beautiful composition. Very well!!

@filipe franco: Many thanks, Filipe!
I love the color and detail on this tree.

@Angry Buddha: Thanks, Sean! (me too)
Like Sean says the colors and detail on the tree are right on. Classic Damon Schreiber! :0) Love the repetition of the windows in the background and reflections as well.

@Craiger: Oh no, I seem to be getting associated with a certain style - time to move on. :-0 Glad you liked it, Craig!
hey man. so sorry for the lack of comms of late. been in what I'm now referring to as a period of 'cant be arsed-ness'. It's all revolved around my current physical state (being sick as a dog and being a big wuss about it all). Haven't ventured out with the camera for ages, although I do check in daily from my death bed (get your goddamn violin out and play). Seriously though, I'm doing alrighty, it's just that when things hit you, they tend to hit you in the style of badly choreographed puro wrestlers, the back breaker!!! kapow!!! the influenza clothesline takedown!!! kachowwww!!!! and it always leaves muggins here to roll around in fake agony as per the script. Let me get back on track and talk about what I came on here originally to talk about...a big cheers for the mexican window. I've been rather 'mad for it' as we used to say back home, for all things mexican since Jun hit home with plenty of stories to make my head explode with delight/curiosity/wonder etc. And who'd have thought that a canadian would have met their japanese wife in mexico. there's a story and a half behind that I imagine. lovely stuff. Digging the tree shenanigans, especially loving yesterdays shadow theatre. Im rather crap at spotting stuff like that and my time away from shooting has reinforced that. What with shooting time down to around 3.2 seconds per day, I thought It'd have shaken me up into finding the interesting in the mundane, the extraordinary in the ordinary etc. I thought 'right, I'm virtually bed ridden but rejoice!!! It'll enable me to see the world differently and kapow! the shutter will be flying'. In actuality, its merely pushed me into posting stuff I wouldn't have posted if I'd been of able mind and body (change your violin bow around about now). Anyway, enough pointless chitter chatter...keep on keeping on..I will be back with less waffle, more something else soon enough.

@Duncan Galbraith: Well, you were obviously delirious when you wrote this, so I won't fault you for that or for my running out of rosin for the fiddle bow - that's my own short-sightedness, obviously. So glad you seem to be reviving; we miss you around here. Thanks for the comments about the virtual vacation - it was fun to do. About making artistic photos of the mundane whilst bedridden, certainly possible, but you need to be in the right frame of mind as with any photography or art: if you don't feel it... it ain't gonna happen. Still, your archive has good depth. I think you could tell which was my fave rave.
right... in = on, who'd have = would've, n = in.

@Duncan Galbraith: Right...edited as per your request!
Love the contrast between windows and tree. Very nice!

@Putter: Thanks, Putter! One of those strange compositions that wasn't immediately obvious, but came together with a bit of thinking.
Very beautiful composition!

@Martine Lapointe: Merci encore, Martine!
What I like the best in this picture is the coldness of the colors, they are even more effective than the b&w of the first one, Great serie in sll Damon!

@Maoya: Hey, glad you commented about the coldness of the colours. I really worked on them, so I'm glad you liked the effect as much as I did. Thanks, Maoya!
Nice perspective, very interesting. Great details too.

@Zing: Many thanks, Zing!
wow, for some reason I love this picture. I'm not sure why but I think the reflections are great here.

@Nick Passantino: Glad you like it, Nick! I agree that it's is not obvious as to what's compelling about it. I was surprised and gratified at the generally positive reaction.
