A Challenge

i would like to challenge the world to
look at simple things and find beauty. to find beauty in a rusty nail, a crumbling building, or an old window. if not beauty, may they find some meaning - a sense of time or a foreshadowing of what is to become of the world or even become of themselves. maybe even find a respect for the passing of time, which is something that most people fear. my goal is to create a mood - whether it may be somber, depressing, cheerful, the list can go on and on. the bottom line is that while i may feel one thing when i create the image, the real truth of it is completely up to the viewer.
