a portal in portales
I had to run a little errand over to New Mexico the other day, so naturally I took my camera with me. And look what I found! Yet another photograph-worthy window reflection. (It’s sort of like an obsession, really.) An observant pedestrian stopped while I made the image, but she looked extremely confused about what was going on, which is not all that shocking, if I’m being honest. Normal people probably really don’t stand a few feet from a building and take a photo of it when there’s a whole world going on just across the street!

This was one of those photos that I sort of thought I noticed when I walked by but it didn’t quite register in my brain. But then that little voice – the one that’s way smarter than I am – said, “Seriously? You’re just going to keep walking? Are you even for real?”*
So I turned around and made a photo.

*That voice is a total wise-ass.

It’s not like I’m breaking any photographic or creative ground here, but this caught my eye and I was unable to walk on without…well, you know.

do not vote
I am not a signage expert, but it seems like if you’ve got a message that’s important enough to stick on a sign, you’d want the whole message to be visible. This sign went on for a few more lines, but they were obscured by the wall of the adjacent building.
But anyway, at least you can get a sense of a few of the people someone doesn’t want you voting for.

pedestrian
In case you were wondering (and I am pretty sure that you were not), this is just a random side street heading off from Via Vittorio Emanuele. That group of pedestrians headed my way looked a little intimidating but in fact were not.
