¶It’s not often that I just look at a subject and visualize a photograph right away. I remember it happening that way for this shot, though. I turned away from a vendor’s booth at an art fair in Bowling Green, Ohio, and the sunlight on this old bank building just struck me. The texture, shadows, angles, and the sky, all just seemed perfect. I only had my iPhone with me, so I quickly snapped this photograph and then kept walking, moving onto the next vendor.

Technical Notes
¶Getting shots like this is why I proudly take photos with my iPhone, even when I’ve got my mirrorless with me.
