At the barricade
Earlier this spring, I rented a camera for a week, and used it as often as I could – I wanted to get my money’s worth!
That’s why I was walking around the civic center on a Saturday morning, where I found two out-of-work barricades and a trash can.

Breadline photos, befitting the depression era. You can see the sense of helpless hopelessness as they stand there waiting for their rations.

It’s sad, really, that it’s come to this with those poor, hardworking barricades.

I think they call these “bike rack barricades” even though they are not really bike racks. They have a resemblance so I guess it is an easy way to identify them.
Nice use of negative space.
How do you like the Leica? 50 mm seems a little too long for your style.

I’m still learning the Leica, but so far, I am very happy with it. I am mostly happy with the 50mm, until I shoot the 28mm on my Nikon! You know how it is – there’s always just one more piece of equipment and then that’ll be all you’ll ever need….

Love all the vertical lines in both foreground and background.

Usually I shoot rectangles – this was a pretty big departure for me!

I guess I’ve sort of already started: http://bit.ly/1sRZU0C. But I didn’t notice until you brought it up!
