Distressed Awning

Sometimes I question my creative vision. Take this photo of a distressed awning as example. After I took it, I walked away thinking I’d post it as part of a week in snapshots thing I used to do. I was mesmerized by the shredded fabric, the way the blue sky peeked through them and the shadows casted by the scraps below.

On second thought, I wondered who else would really care to see a beat up awning. It wasn’t the product of hours of work, just a quick iPhone snapshot, so I was fine leaving it unposted. But the image captured my imagination enough that I randomly recalled it several times over the last two weeks.

I suppose this is part of life out loud on the Internet. Maybe most won’t see the same worn beauty I did, but someone else out there might appreciate it in their own way. So to you, if you’re out there, cheers.
