links and bonding

This hand holds a lot of stories. I don’t know what they are, but I am confident of my assessment.

(I am also confident of using a long-ish lens to isolate a stranger’s hand, if that is what the situation calls for.)

“delicous”

No, indeed there IS nothing like eating a delicious ear of corn. And maybe I’m just letting my inner copy editor have too much control, but I can’t help but point out that the sign maker did not spell delicious the conventional way. Maybe spelling’s just a silly construct?

one way

It’s the end of the month, so I figure it’s time to move on from nighttime photos of Portland. I don’t know what I’ll post next. Maybe Portland in the daytime? Or Portland in the fog? Or Portland with daytime fog?

There are so very many possibilities.

in my secret life

There’s just something about a nighttime view of a restaurant full of people…

Also, if you’re in Old Port and in need of a sweet treat, I can definitely vouch for the cookies from Standard Baking. On a cold day, a cookie and a coffee will turn a Regular Afternoon into an Exception Afternoon. Just like that.

shadow puppet

I made two shots of this wall; I didn’t care for the first one because it had a person’s shadow on it.

Turns out, I was wrong and could have stopped with the original image, because it was more interesting.
