The very nature of photography is slicing time. Photographs are based on exposure to light, be it film or sensor and usually lasting only a fraction of a second. But in that unique moment, magic is made, never to be repeated, for seasons change, expressions are different, and nothing is static. It’s just a click, but one of endless boundaries and imagination, pausing time, and never to be captured again.

I captured this image in a tunnel under I-280 freeway, a place I periodically photograph for its graffiti. In the center of the giant culvert lies a large steel grate like a textured skylight illuminating the dark passageway. The combination of light and shadows running down the colorful graffiti-laden wall caught my eye. It's a study in patterns, shapes, and colors.

Lovely. There is some comfort in the wall and cascading light patterns, but it is quickly broken up by the beautiful and bright colors that are found just under the patterns. Interesting how the white is outlined in color, so subtle at first that it can be missed.
Thank you, Diane. I didn't notice the color outlines around the bright white areas.
