St. Jude’s trash can
St. Jude, one of the more fastidious of the saints (I presume), has a specially-marked trash can. He’s going all-in with the cleanliness-is-next-to-godliness deal.

it’s in the details
The Statler Hotel was built in 1956, for the unbelievable cost of $16 million. It was a showplace of mid-century architecture, with long lines, geometric details, a teal-colored exterior curtainwall system, and (naturally) a heliport. It was the first building to feature piped-in elevator music.
It closed in 2001 and was nearly demolished in 2003, but fortunately that was avoided and a $175 million renovation restored the place to its previous glory.

Jesus’s shoe (at Neimans)
I don’t have the tiniest idea why there was a cache of shoes in the entryway of the flagship Neiman Marcus store. And I had walked all the way past them before the fact that one shoe said JESUS registered in my mind. I did that super annoying pedestrian thing – stopping suddenly on a busy sidewalk and turning around* – because there was no way I was skipping the chance to photograph some authentic religious footwear.

*I make u-turns on highways all the time. A sidewalk u-turn seemed somehow a lot more hostile.
reflective morning
A recent car-free weekend in Dallas gave me the chance to walk around and, you know, SEE details of things that driving around doesn’t permit. And that is how I happened upon this downtown park with a rich array of layers of things to see.

beaming
Remember a couple of days ago, when I wrote about trying to learn how to photograph people and how that microgreens kid made it easy? This was practically the same thing – that girl noticed my camera and offered to let me photograph her lunch. You can tell what my counter-offer was. How could I resist those smiles?
