“espresso shots”

Yikes! There’s a lot going on here. But my favorite (and the reason for the photo) is the paper plate that’s serving as a sign on the wall of this bakery.

But I do wonder what exactly is the difference between regular espresso shots and their offer of “espresso shots.”

I never really imagined that I’d be in a hurricane and surely never thought that if I were in one, I’d be Boston when it happened.

Yet, here I was, watching Hurricane Ida rolling right along.

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.
