KEEPING AT IT: Finding Black Patterns

"Preserve your whites," but "Let the blacks lead the eye."

Let's look for black patterns. They are everywhere, though some need rearranging for a good picture. But that's what we are doing, making pictures, not taking photos. For now Let's keep the blacks fairly small.

Here's a sample of what I'm trying to get at. This is a motel room desk. The blacks, from left to right are: a one cup coffee maker, lids on two KT coffee cups, lid and shadow on a thermos, and connecting them all, a dark plastic brochure holder. The actual black pattern is on the picture below this.
