"A type of photograph consisting of a glimpse, a frame, and a background scene. There may also be a foreground. That area of a photograph which is partially or completely surrounded by the frame and offers a view of the background scene." (information from Take a Glimpse, blogspot.com)
Photos which are classified as glimpses are very interesting to look at because they do not always show the entirety of the object, which is the focus of the photograph. They can be something that makes a person wish they were there when the photographer was taking the picture in order to see what they were thinking while taking the picture. My experience of taking glimpse pictures was something that I think will help me become a better photographer in general. When I went out to shoot I realized that I was paying more attention to what I was doing instead of taking pictures of what I thought was a pretty picture. It required me to look more closely and really see objects in a new way.
This picture is a new way to look at a very familiar object to any Lipscomb University student. The fact that it only shows a small part of the sign for the Alumni Auditorium means that a person would have to look more closely to figure out what prominent building this is.
