It’s a bike on the ground, why are you photographing it? That’s what a group of girls asked me as I crouched down next to this bike. I got the shot though!

Why are you photographing that?
Filed in Black and White, Canon 20D, Cork, Ireland, Look up, Photos, Sigma 10-20, St Patrick's Street, Street, Urban
So, what was your answer?
“It’s Arty, you wouldn’t understand.”
“I’m a bicycle wheel inspector and I am recording that this wheel isn’t perfectly round.”
“Bicycle wheels turn me on.”
Yeah, I get that a bit as well – I’m sure we all do. Some people just don’t see the art/beauty in the everyday things.
There’s Urs who photographs abandoned bikes:

"Why are you photographing that?" – I get that a bit from friends, showing them the results on the LCD mostly gets a positive response.
How do you find the Sigma 10-20? I’m debating whether to get that or the Canon 10-22.
it’s beautiful
Great shot, great use of that Sigma lens…
bellissima!
