bridge traffic – Michigan Avenue
I had some time the other day when I was in Chicago and was able to meet up with an Instagram photographer that I follow; I’ve always been drawn to his b+w street photography and we’ve had some good IG conversations.
He showed me some of his favorite late-afternoon spots for street photography, places where the light bounced around nicely to illuminate the streets and the pedestrians in delightful, surprising, and perfect ways. He taught me a lot; additionally, it was just delightful to finally get to meet in person.
I’ve said it before and I’ll bet I’ll say it again – making personal connections via online photography platforms is a completely unexpected benefit of this whole photo deal I’ve gotten myself into.

the world as we knew it, 1
I’m coming off a year of personal loss. I can see that the universe is filling in those gaps, in some unexpected ways, in some ways that are delightful, in some ways that matter both personally and professionally. And that makes it feel like I’ll get through it and be a better person than I would have been.
But there are other things, politics most particularly, that are leaving me reeling, that make me sad and frightened, and unsettled.
This photo, one of my experimental intentional camera movement shots, represents the way I feel. Things I understood and that I thought were unchangeable are shifting, changing, disappearing, becoming almost unrecognizable.

white on white on white
A coffee shop, located in an old house, has a lovely aesthetic, with nearly everything a nice crisp white. It sets of their delicious, locally-roasted coffee very well.

the morning yucca
I took some time the other Saturday morning to explore my own town; it paid off handsomely because not only did I discover an excellent coffee place, but there were some exuberant yucca flowers out in front.
And this reminds me that when I was a kid, I’d eat these flowers, which could surely explain some things.

where you’ll find quality
I am pretty sure that most of my reader(s) are not aware that they could be purchasing their finer menswear in New Mexico. This inventory at this place runs the gamut from golf clothes to summer suits. And don’t forget that they offer service every day.
