Capturing the Beauty of Lines

The greatest satisfaction that I’m getting with photography is developing my skills to observe my surroundings. Before I started taking pictures and reading about photography, I was like a blind person. Let me explain what I mean by that. I was looking at my reality but I wasn’t seeing it.

Now, when I go out, I make a conscious effort to observe simple things like clothes lines, my neighbor’s flowers, the trees in the park, fountains, buildings, roads, tubes, railroads and so forth. I take time to observe patterns, textures, colors, shapes or lines of the subjects I see. It’s like recreating my reality again.

I know that my pictures are long way from being what they should be, but at least they are the means to see the world in a different manner. For this and many other things, I feel a great satisfaction in learning about the fascinating world of photography.

Panama is full of new buildings being built everywhere. When I ride through the city, I’m always trying to find the new ones and their contrasting architectural styles. Some I like, others I don’t.

Below are a couple of pictures of a building that caught my eyes because of its lines. Let’s take a look together. Here we go.

In this picture you can enjoy the multiple lines of the structure. I stared at this building for a long times following the lines with my eyes. It's a great building to watch. Photo by ©Omar Upegui R.

As Panama’s skyline becomes more and more complex, I’m sure it will become a tourist attraction similar to Miami, New York or São Paulo. Good Day.
