Curtains up

With the blustery, winter season about to hit us full force, today's forecast was the typical cold and rainy day with no end in sight.   As much as I dislike these type of days for photo opportunities, it forces me to look inside for stories to tell about every day things.   I couldn't have written a script like the one that follows.   I was sitting in my favorite chair (c'mon, everyone has one) and trying to come up with either a place to go or a subject in the house to document.   Looking out the window, I started to notice the different patterns that the curtains, the sheers, and the window screens had as they contrasted against each other.   With the trees rapidly losing their leaves outside, it had a neat backdrop to it.   The crinkles in the sheer looked intriguing as the straight edges of the heavy curtain fell against it.   While the picture beyond the window was a little out of focus, it led me to imagine other things I could do using a curtain sheer or a sheet as a lens to shoot through.
