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.

maybe you and I will not agree
Did this guy break my composition by walking into it? Or should I pretend I planned it that way? Was it wrong to line up the pedestrian across the street with the mannequin? Should more stuff be in focus? Should it have been processed in black and white?
