Friday, I got OUT! Many layers of designer clothing were involved–labels like Cuddle Duds, Smartwool, LL Bean and Columbia–but by golly, I got outside with my camera. Despite the heavy gray haze and dirty snow, I was so excited that I kept breaking into grins and–yes–an occasional giggle.
I was down near one of the shelters and guys who normally do a lot of nodding and self-talk were actually routing themselves far around me. Women with crazy eyes who also self-talk (“Okay. Okay. Now check the ISO. Get closer. Oh sweet Mother of Pearl! Look at that brickwork!) are given a wide berth wherever we go.
I was back indoors three hours later, snug in a coffee shop , happy happy happy and checking out my shots.

These three are from the backside of an empty warehouse that I have been eyeballing for weeks now.


Is that not the finest door you have seen this year? I cannot believe it has taken me so long to check this place out.
