Sometimes, change is good. Heck, lots of times change is good. That’s certainly how I felt this morning. I was in one of those creative ruts where running out to shoot decaying buildings was just not gonna cut it for me. So off into the center of Berlin went, seeking something worth shooting and posting today. I had in mind, initially, a short walk along the river, hoping to find some cool small boats and barges to shoot; the ones I fond were, however, not docked the way I wanted them in my composition, so I looked for something else to fill my camera frame. I came across a half-way decent shot of one of the smaller boats, which I may process and post at some time, but I was more taken by this lone old bike shackled (with a new lock) to a guard rail. Sure felt great to change things up a bit from what I normally shoot. I post-processed the shot (and wrote this short post) while listening to the great Sam Cooke singing one of the greatest songs of all time, A Change is Gonna Come.
