Shop window, Little Five Points, Atlanta, Georgia, 2013

A tree, a shop window, and a building façade join forces here to create a harmonious image rooted in both rhythm and pattern. I noticed that the bends in the tree trunk just outside the window seemed a perfect match for the arm and elbow of the purple mannequin featured in the display. Meanwhile, a graffiti artist had framed the window itself in wavy black bars that repeat the implied body language of the body behind the glass. The golden color of the purse in the window is also replicated by the color of the tree itself, while the red decorative elements floating around the edge of the window seem to spring from the ends of the back bars that press in on them.

Welcome to my corner of pbase, Flo. I enjoy photographing windows because they always offer a frame within a frame, allowing me to create a picture within a picture.
