Post Office Saturday

Then there was that Saturday when I went with the Patient Spouse to check his business’s post office box. You are probably surprised at the wild life we lead.

Diagonals

This time I was shooting through some old glass that had wire mesh inlaid in it. And look! The diagonal of the mesh and the diagonal of the stairs match.

Chain and Block (with pigeon)

The big wooden door on this abandoned building had a lens-sized hole way down at the bottom. You know what I did.

I like making these kinds of photos, shooting blind through holes or dirty glass, because it’s a (usually good) surprise when I see the finished image. If I’d been doing this the “right” way, framing up the shot and all that stuff, I’m not sure I could have done better than the way the chain, the concrete block, and the pigeon arranged themselves.

That door? It’s short, right?

I am not an especially tall person, but even to me that door seemed really short.

The big parade

It was either one hundred years ago or 5 months ago – I’ve lost track of minor things like that – when I saw this very small parade. It reminded me of “The Big Parade” by the Lumineers. Because of course it did.
