This is just something I saw when I went over to the window to look out on Manhattan at dusk. Maybe the scene out the window is more interesting... But I saw this, and was drawn to photograph it. Something about the subtle pastel colors, and the dramatic perspective. I am not sure that this will show, but there is a Moiré pattern in the curtains. Moiré is a pattern that is created when two grids (like curtain fabric) are overlaid at an angle, and an interference pattern results. Perhaps it doesn't show in this small image.
It may be work, it may be play, it may be near, it may be away. So here is the challenge - to shoot and post one photograph a day on this site. These photographs are a kind of diary of things I find interesting. I am also thinking that there will be days when I am unable to shoot, so on those infrequent occasions, I will post a photograph done on another day, but one that still feels important to me. - Ken Spencer

Wow, that's a curtain? It looks like a ceiling or roofing or some art installation. Very nicely captured.
