Wall Of Windows; Or Are They?

Fujifilm X100VI w/28mm Fujifilm conversion lens; 1/210 sec. @ f/8; ISO 125; +1 EV; JPEG file
I had to stand to the side and not perpendicular to this building due to a utility pole’s guide wire
being directly in front of where I needed to stand.  Additionally, I had to point the camera up
for proper composition—all corrected in LR.  I think even with all of that manipulation, as
well the image as the addition of the lens attachment,  the image held up well, especially the corners.

I've wrote about this building last year.  The first thing that caught my eye was the unusual olive green color of the bare wall.  Then, over several months as I occasionally drove by, I would see some shapes appearing.  Month after month, more and more of this wall was being painted with, of all things, windows!  I thought it unique and wrote a post on July 29th with and added an image of what had been painted so far.  You can find that post here.  

I have been waiting for it to be finished so I could make an image of the completed artwork.  Well, it has been finished for some time, but each time I drove by, a truck was parked in front of it.  The other day I noticed nothing blocking the wall.  Time to stop and make a few expsosures.

I'm impressed with the contents and detail of each 'window.'  Each painting is simple (as you expect since it is large and very few drivers would notice fine detail).  On the other hand, quite interesting in different ways.  I know it would be hard for you to see the detail just by clicking on the above image, so I performed mutliple crops on that image to show each window individually.  Starting from the top left yellow window, they are below.

Either the artist or the building's owner must like cats as several are featured in the paintings.  Lol.

Pretty cool way to may a bland building wall look much more interesting.

I always keep a lookout for unusual things such as this and, whenever possible, try to make a few exposures to add to my collection.  Besides just being unusual, this image will fit nicely into my "Just for the Color" project.  That project is about images that I make where color itself is the subject.  You can see more of those images over on my website here if you are interested.

Note:  I picked up and now have used the two Fujifilm X100VI screw-on lens attachments, which provide for the full frame equivalent of 28mm and 50mm focal lengths, several times now.  I used the 28mm one for this image.  I plan on writing a short post about them in the near future.  So stay tuned.
