I spend a lot of time in hospitals. Not as a professional, as a parent of a chronically ill child. It is usually stressful so I employ various methods to manage my stress so I can better support my child. Never before have I wished I’d packed my dslr. I’ve walked around many hospitals to discover spaces that ‘feel’ good to be in when a little respite is called for. Today I found myself walking around and noticing beauty in so many areas and wishing I had a more capable camera with me. It felt so much better to be actively engaged in something I enjoy within that respite break. Thank you 365!
You have captured so much in the shot. Being a retired nurse I appreciate the difficulties for all relatives especially parents. So good that you channel your stress in a positive way.
If it's been said once, it's been said a million times- the best camera is the one you have with you. I started out on 365 with a little pocket camera that I perceived to be a limitation. But I have learned in my years here that it was only as limited as I made it. It excelled at macros- so it taught me a lot about macros! You are doing well with whatever camera you're using because you have a good eye- so don't feel bad if the more capable camera is home. The one you used here did a lovely job with black and white so keep up the wandering and using whatever's in your hand- good shot!!
It is a great shot. I like all the lines and geometric shapes and the faint glimpse of the "world outside". My tinnitus seems to take a back-seat whenever I use a camera and it doesn't matter what camera I use; my phone, old point and shoot cameras or full frame dslrs... for me it is the process of taking the photo that is the most important aspect of photography.

So true Ann. Thanks for your encouraging perspective.
