gone for a spin
I cannot explain why I always think laundromats need to be photographed. My brain, which can sometimes* be surprising stubborn, just insists on it.
So naturally, while I was wandering around the North End, with all the history and culture and whatnot, I went inside to look at clothes rolling around in a dryer. The Old North Church can just wait a few damn more minutes.

*Always, actually.
18 and 7 are down for the count
I have a thing for photographing laundromats. I have no idea why – it’s just a subject that frequently captures my eye.
Combine that with my well-know affinity for photographing abandoned places and it’ll get you this image from an out-of-business place I spotted in Louisiana a few years ago.

No one likes to put away laundry
And here’s proof (more or less) that someone else dislikes putting away the laundry.
This is last day of my laundromat series…you won’t even believe what’s lined up for tomorrow!

Here’s part two of my three part laundromat series. Those dryer doors are everything.

Live plants are a nice touch
I always think that laundromats would be a good place to make a few photos, but I never actually get around to testing out the theory in an actual laundromat. Until that vacation the other day, when we packed light and did laundry half way through our trip.
The Bay Breeze Laundry made a lovely spot for photos; here’s the first one of three that I made that night, in between feeding quarters to the machines and leafing through an old National Enquirer that was lying on a table.*
