Groovy, West New York, New Jersey

I tend to be a creature of habit, so once in awhile I force myself to step out of my shoes, try something different, make a change (however slight) and do something- anything- differently. It is staggering how easy it is to get stuck in a habit or pattern, or even a rut, if you will, without ever realizing it. It is so much harder to do something different- taking a different path (literally and figuratively). However, it requires awareness in order to do so, coupled with a certain amount of willingness to try something new. However, I believe that it is only when we dare to change our norms, make small changes in our lives or try to see things from a different perspective (or someone else's viewpoint), that we can tuly feel alive.

To this end......stepping away from my usual subject matter, I tried here to capture something totally different that what I usually aim for. (I.e., no barns, farms or horses) :) In this way, I am trying to gain new perspectives, trying to learn different techniques, and trying to see the world differently, if just for a moment. I chose this particular photograph to further this idea because it is totally unclear what is going on....what do you think this photograph depicts? No answers here- it is for each viewer to decide for him/herself.
