desertion
I was at an airport. I had a camera. I had time to fill.
And so I made this image, which is the opposite – in a lot of ways – of this airport photo from a couple of days ago.

Shop window, selling shiny dreams

Hotel Lobby
Florida’s not JUST parking garage vents; it’s also got hotel lobbies. This one is in the Vinoy Renaissance. It was a grand hotel in the 1920s, then fell into disrepair before being redone. Among nice things at the Vinoy is a wide, shady front porch with rocking chairs and a view of a park and the bay. There’s a very good possibility that I’ve spent my fair share of time on the porch…
