in my secret life
There’s just something about a nighttime view of a restaurant full of people…
Also, if you’re in Old Port and in need of a sweet treat, I can definitely vouch for the cookies from Standard Baking. On a cold day, a cookie and a coffee will turn a Regular Afternoon into an Exception Afternoon. Just like that.

shadow puppet
I made two shots of this wall; I didn’t care for the first one because it had a person’s shadow on it.
Turns out, I was wrong and could have stopped with the original image, because it was more interesting.

to all gates
In the daylight, I probably wouldn’t have given this place a second look. At night, though…

faded (old) glory
Just because buildings are vacant/abandoned doesn’t mean there’s nothing to see.
This little vignette’s got metal siding where a big plate glass window used to be with a smaller window stuck in. And – and! – a very tattered and faded American flag.
The other side of the shot has a sign whose awkward wording led me to read it as “home drop off please no furniture” which naturally made me wonder why they wanted people to just drop off vacant homes. Ah, language: so amusing. Ha, my thought process: probably not so amusing.
