Stay Happy
I posted a photo of this burned-out liquor store back in 2012.
This time I noticed some new graffiti. I did the usual two-U-turn maneuver to get the shot. I thought I’d need the reminder.

The poor place needs a little happiness. And the shot made me happy.

That’s one hell of an unhappy sky. Which I am sure you did on purpose. Maybe now that the flooring reno is done, your can lighten things up again?

Are you saying that a few weeks of living in the midst of construction may have influenced my work? In a dark fashion?
When I was participating for a few months at the local art trail, a man would come by every month and talk about my photos. He said he was interested in having me do his holiday cards*. The last time I saw him, he said, “Of course, I love your work. But some of it would be hard for the cards – my friends would think I was even more melancholy than usual.”
*His term.

I’m thinking it could have driven you stark raving mad which just might be reflected in your work.
This image would make a good Christmas card – at least for the grinches out there, except they don’t send cards so perhaps not a good business model.

My stuff has tended to be very dark lately. In exposure, for sure. And in theme, maybe. Let’s see how that changes… And try not to worry if it doesn’t!
