I was in a meeting at work when I took off my glasses and put them down on the table. After a couple of minutes, I noticed the image in one of the lenses. I couldn’t capture it at once because we were still in the meeting, so I left my glasses on the table. When the meeting broke up, I moved the glasses a little, quickly took the photo, and went back to work.

I don’t remember there being anything special about the processing. The remember the original photo had a slightly blue tint, which I didn’t like. I simply cropped a little, converted the image to black and white, and adjusted the contrast.

Sometimes you just look up and there it is—a photo just waiting to be made. I was laying in bed one morning, looking up at my drapes. I liked how the light just grazed the top of the fabric, so I picked up my phone and recorded it. I made several exposures, but this is my favorite because of the angle.

The processing was simple. I cropped a little, converted the image to black and white, and adjusted the contrast. That was it—normal processing, nothing fancy. This is all about the quality of the light and the angle of the curtain rod. It’s about responding to what you see and knowing it’s got potential.

I was taking the ferry over to Norfolk one afternoon when I spotted another passenger standing by the railing, looking out into the harbor. The scene had possibilities, so I quietly put my fisheye lens on my phone and snapped this photo.

It looks like the processing was straightforward, but it wasn’t. The scene was too contrasty as captured; I had to lighten the shadows under the canopy to bring out the texture of the wooden benches. Once I did that, everything fell into place.
