One time, in a Whole Foods in New Orleans, the manager told me to stop taking photos inside the store. I was photographing the interesting ceiling and not the products, but maybe I still looked like a corporate spy. (One other time I actually WAS a corporate spy but that’s a story for another day.)

Anyway, not one official at Eataly seemed to care that I found their wares to be photogenic.

night/light

Did I travel to a city and stay in an upper floor of a hotel? Yes.

Did I enjoying looking through the windows of nearby buildings at night, trying to imagine other people’s lives? Again, yes.

Did I take some photos of it? Hell, yes.

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.

walk v. ride

I haven’t been out making new photos lately – other stuff has taken priority, etc. But luckily I have a gigantic archive of photos that I never got around to editing.

So, anyway, today kicks off a little series that I’ll call When I Went To Boston.

The way the part-of-a-person seems to be striding so confidently past the row of bikes makes me laugh and you probably know by now that if a photo makes me laugh, I’m gonna eventually post it…

pedernal: a non-traditional angle

If you are the littlest bit familiar with Georgia O’Keeffe’s paintings of the New Mexico landscape, then I bet you’ve seen various versions of the mesa known as the Pedernal.

However, for some reason, none of hers included a picnic shelter and/or a belly dump trailer.  That seems like sort of an oversight on her part, but who am I to say?
