VIEWFINDER----Life is filled with patterns. Many of which we overlook due to the business of our days, however once you get an eye for spotting them (and it takes being intentional and some practice) you’ll be amazed by what you see. Winthin 5 minutes of walking into the new Decades bar and bowling alley I spotted this wall of shoes perfectly lined up in their shelves. Sometimes it's the simple things that make an interesting image. This photo was taken with a Nikon D4s with a 14-24mm lens at f3.2, ISO 6400 and processed in Photoshop.
