the newest start
It was a spring day with a solid cloud cover; the light was nicely diffused so I took advantage of it and made a little portrait of the new leaves emerging from the soon-to-be-unwieldly plant.
If you’re not from here, you might be surprised at how few days provide this kind of light: we sort of get used to shrugging our way through making images with bright sun and harsh shadows. You can’t control everything…

I’m not in real estate or anything but it sort of seems like if you’re really wanting to unload your property and there are only 580 people in your whole town, maybe putting a complete phone number would be advantageous.

afternoons with Beyoncé
I know for sure my brain doesn’t work in a normal way.
For example, I decided to completely misunderstand this sign because it was funnier* to think that it is Jay Z’s side hustle and that he closed the place down right after lunch every day so he could get home to Beyoncé. In fact, it was so funny** that I made a series of u-turns to get back to get the photo.
