Baby, sing with me somehow

Naturally, this scene took my mind straight to a Neil Young song; I was helpless.

The daunting task

I don’t know how much of the wall that worker was painting with a roller, but if it was the entire thing, it he/she probably didn’t finish in one day.

“There must be some kind of way out of here.”

I’ve mentioned this before – how sometimes a particular scene will make a song show up in my mind.

You can probably figure out which one it was this time, from the caption. But which version? My mind didn’t care if it was Bob Dylan or Jimi Hendrix or U2 or Eddie Vedder. But it drew the line at John Mayer.

Escalator to nowhere

After I made this image, a security guard quizzed me about why, exactly, I was taking pictures of an empty exhibit hall.

“Check out those two red circles and how they balance that red cart!”

“It’s so far down!”

“Oooh – the floor is so shiny!”

“That yellow wall is such a nice contrast to the grey floor.”

But I settled for, “I like how it looks.” She was completely confused and I didn’t stick around.

Café Islands

You know those glorious days when every single thing you see looks like it ought to be a photograph?

That’s what happened here when I spotted the tabletop archipelago.

(Full disclosure: nothing was staged. Because if it had been, I would have moved the pepper shaker away from the salt.)
