"Place, with a trace of humanity" Photography/Photo of the Day/Pittsburgh

Scratch-Off Across the Street from School

The curb used to be yellow, the losing ticket catches your eye. You lean over the curb,focus, see equal thirds in the composition. Shoot. Texture, line, shape, color, space, form. Art elements are everywhere in the world.

Losing lottery ticket discarded curbside. Peeling yellow paint on concrete.

It looks like someone placed it there for me to find, the curb paint scratched off, too.

    Yes, you have an eye for it; as you say, texture, line, shape, color, space, form. Thanks.
