Maybe you thought I’d forgotten that I actually COULD photograph people?
This is Heather Hedge, who helped a group of delightful folks pass a relaxing afternoon the other day.

arcs (with spikes)
I mean, sure, these are pretty. The spiky arcs (and the way they repeat themselves.) The golden light. The contrast with the green.
But don’t be fooled: those things will stab you without a second thought.

hatband
Low light. A felt hat. A grosgrain ribbon band. Feathers. A piece of twine. Deep shadows.
That is all. And that’s all I needed.

see-through house
I have a weird thing* about being able to see all the way through a building. Where I usually shoot – the Texas High Plains – that’s not uncommon, as there are lots of left-behind farmhouses and wide expanses of horizon to see through the broken windows.
Seeing all the way through this building in Beacon Hill felt familiar. But it also felt disconcerting.

*I am sure you realize that I have way more than one weird thing. It’s just that only one of them was relevant at the current time.
lamp/light
This? Oh just a fascinating shadow that I saw on the corner of Pickney and W. Cedar Streets. I’m going to pretend that I just knew the name of the intersection off the top of my head, but if you think it actually took me a few minutes just now on Google street view to figure it out, you would not be wrong.
