Jerry Abramowicz Photography

A friend of mine called me up the other day and was bored. She was walking around town wanting to photography something but couldn't figure out what she wanted to shoot. This happens to all of us from time to time so I understood how she felt. She asked if I would join her on her little journey which I happily obliged. It was a pretty drab day, rain was threatening, a bit cool (it is November) and most cities look pretty bland this time of year anyway. It didn't take long before I got her laughing though and we just started shooting. We first started looking for things with colour, then it turned to people watching and from there it was all the architecture around us. I opened her eyes to the fact that you don't have to go far to see quite a few different things in the same location. We stayed in the same block and a half that I met her in and kept shooting for the rest of the afternoon. It was a fun day.

The point is, if you're in a funk don't be afraid to call a friend. They may or may not join you but they may help to open your eyes to what is right in front of you. What's that old saying, can't see the forest for the trees? It happens.
