It’s funny* how these themes just show up on their own.
Two days ago, I recommended walking down alleys to find photographs. Then yesterday, I said not to forget about walking down the street for the same purpose.
Which brings me to today, when I say that it’s a good idea to walk behind things, too. That’s where I found this scene: behind St. Anthony’s Catholic Church.
Maybe what it’s taken me three days to say is: get out of the car and walk around a little bit.

*Well, funny to me, at any rate.

OK, so remember yesterday, when I said to walk down the alley? Don’t do that. At least, don’t always do that.
Sometimes, you need to walk down the street.

This is important: walk down the alley. That’s usually where the good subjects hide.

Shocking, isn’t it? That I posted a color photograph, I mean.
This image and I had a bit of a battle. See, I wanted it to be black and white, because that’s what I am doing now. I mean, I even posted a picture of the Pacific Ocean in b&w: I am committed to it.
But, no: this image had its own ideas. It was somewhat insistent, in fact, of the correctness of color over b&w. I didn’t want to believe it. But eventually it wore me down. And so, here’s a color photograph. I hope you’re not too upset by it.
(Also: the photograph was right. It DID need to be in color. But I will deny that I admitted it.)
