Photo taken in my parking garage this morning. Lots of cutesy titles suggested themselves, among them:
“Rule of Thirds” – because there are three white pillar bases and three white lights. Plus the “Rule of Thirds” concept.
“Figures 3 and 4 in Black and White” – which would be a play on Charles Demuth’s brilliant I Saw the Figure 5 in Gold.
In the end I went with “Arrangement in Black and White No.1” as a play on Arrangement in Grey and Black No.1, better known as Whistler’s Mother, because I rarely take black-and-white photos and this one seemed to be all about light, shadow, and geometry. Hence, an “arrangement” in black and white of lines, shapes, darkness, and light.
That is super interesting. If you let your eyes unfocus, the pillars kind of take on a checkerboard look as well. Very cool!!!

Oh cool, you’re right! I didn’t even try to line it up that way. I just walked forward and back until things “clicked,” like I was a safecracker hearing the tumblers fall into place. My subconscious must have been paying attention to that checkerboard effect, even though I didn’t have a clue😂
