This photo was taken in Portland, Oregon just a hundred or so metres from my hotel. It's just an ordinary scene transformed by the low early morning sun. If I had seen this later in the day I would not have given it a second glance.
The scene could be anywhere. I don't go out looking for photos-they present themselves. I invairably take my Leica X1 on my walks because it is unobtrusive and easy to carry. I guess that I could just use my phone but for me at least it's not the same. When I have the camera in my hands and am looking through the viewfinder my mental approach is different to when I use the phone. Maybe it's just a matter of what you are used to. Anyway the camera works for me so why change?
