Collective Canvas

The next weekend I went to a building on E. Market St. and N New Jersey St. When I fist arrived at the factory I was disappointed because the building was dull gray and did not seem to have much character. I was a little skeptical about whether or not I would be able to capture anything interesting.  I realized, however, that the sky was abnormally blue for winter, which complimented the gray building and the red spots created by rust and exposed bricks. The bright sun created bold geometric shadows leaving patterns on the sides of the building. Had the building been more complex, the shadows would have been lost and the bright primary colors would not have been as obvious.
