I’m cheating. I took this picture last year (January 2009) but not only did I only find out this week’s concept about an hour ago, but I also can’t think of a better example of sharp, other than perhaps a bookstore or my house being the one in the picture.
Last year, on the the coldest day of the year, a 100 + year old church not far from my house burned down. This pretty much says everything about sharp. Cold, painful, uncaring. The thing to remember is that sometimes the old must be cut down to make room for the new. Sharp captures that too, decisive, neutral, necessary.
Oh wow.
Yeah. I cried when I saw it.
