Anticipation

I think this photo could be used for a Rorschach test. Is this just a collection of empty chairs or is it a scene of anticipation? Is this a room emptied of life or will these chairs soon be full of people eger to be inspired, enlightened, entertained, educated?

How we interpret visual cues makes all the difference in how we live our lives. There were many artists sitting/standing in this room, standing in the balconies above it, walking through it at various times throughout the day. How many of them noticed the play of light on the chairs and floor? How many of them saw an artistic beauty in this arrangement? Surely I couldn't have been the only one. I think I'll post this photo on DeviantArt (deviantart.com) and see how many of the people who attended the party took a photo similar to this one or thought of chairs as art.

When we are children we play the game of finding "things" in the clouds. I saw a dragon just the other day on my way into the office. I had to bring a co-worker outside to see it (he's Chinese and born in the year of the Dragon). I though it might be auspicious (lucky) for him. He wasn't as impressed with the cloud dragon as I was. Maybe it was auspicious for me since I'm the one who saw it first.

How many things do you see every day and don't even think about them? How much more would you see if you looked for something artistic or interesting in your everyday surroundings? Wouldn't it make your life a little more interesting?
