Today I landed on a site called The Quiet Place. Go ahead, take a peek. The link will open in a new window/tab; I’ll wait… 🙂
In that Quiet Place, gazing out my window and trying to do absolutely nothing, I thought “Don’t even look for a photo.”
Then this appeared.

During my walks through the back alleys of our neighborhood, this wall keeps drawing my eye—especially in soft light. Is it the color, texture, or age? I finally decided to stop thinking about it, and simply capture to share as best I can.
“…to express the inexpressible” is part of a quotation ascribed to the photographer Alvin Langdon Coburn. That may be what we are all trying to do with our photography, and my mistake is in trying to validate the resonance with words.
