#photoprompt

My spouse and I are into #Photography, so we've started doing a weekly #PhotoPrompt with our niece and nephew.

Each week, a different one of the four of us picks a simple prompt idea, and we all take a wander with our cameras, trying to get 3 photos that fit our interpretation of the prompt.
We all have matching albums, so every 2-4 weeks, I order prints for everybody of the photos they took.

This week's prompt was: rectangles and squares.
Here are a few of the photos I took for the week.

A black and white photo of an alley between two buildings, taken from the perspective of standing on top of one and looking down. The alley road between the buildings is cracked and stained but devoid of trash and debris. The opposite building is clad in rectangular bricks, and only the ground floor is in frame. On the left, a small, fenced-off, utility area attached to the building is partially visible. In the center, there are three tall, dark-tinted, rectangular windows evenly spaced apart. In front of the windowed section, there is a small stretch of sidewalk consisting of several large, square segments of concrete. Finally, on the right, the start of a fabric awning can be seen covering the few steps and landing which lead from the sidewalk to the rear door.
A black and white closeup photo of an exhaust vent on the side of an industrial backup generator. Visible is a small section of the vent made up of four horizontal rows of six square holes. Behind the bright, metal grille is a darker, sloping, air duct whose angle makes the shadow of the grille appear to fall in corresponding diagonal lines away from the grille.
A photo of a large, Sony, tube TV sitting on a low, wooden table in the corner of a room. A camcorder has been pointed at the TV while displaying its output, and this has caused an effect that looks like an infinite series of descendingly smaller square TVs displayed inside one another. The physical TV displays the camera's output of filming said TV, which causes the displayed image of the TV to also be displaying an image of the TV, and on and on until it gets too small in the center to distinguish. The infrared, night-filming mode of the camcorder has been enabled, causing the recording to look green and digitized, thus evoking the feeling of the Matrix movie franchise.
A very close-up black & white photo if a window screen. Only the screen is in focus with a few indiscernible blobs in the distance behind it. The mesh of thin, dark filaments creates thousands of miniscule, rectangular holes through which the brighter sky then shines.
