Power to the people

Lights on, lights off, your call
Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue, QC, July 2011

I've always been more interested in what lies beneath than what's plainly seen up-front. So when I found myself wandering the streets of this lovely old town on the very western tip of the island of Montreal, my eyes were drawn toward the alleyways between the well preserved buildings.

What I found in the process didn't necessarily change my view of the place. And it didn't change me, either. But that wasn't the point. You don't always need a point to grab a shot that makes you ponder.

Your turn: Do you ever take a picture just because? Got an example to share?
