second-story man
I really don’t have the faintest idea what that guy was doing up there – the one standing in front of the red window. It’s not like it was a balcony. It’s not like it was balcony weather. I just don’t know. It may have had something to do with the spirit merchant on the ground floor or it might not have. Other than that guy, I suspect that no one else knows. Or even noticed what was going on.
It was one of those reflex photos – I saw it and made the shot without taking time to do stuff like composing it or anything. The moment was there and then it was gone, possibly because a bus drove by.

tiny rivers
The only reason I saw these tiny rivers easing their way from the puddle behind them is that I sat in the drizzle and took some time to look around me. You know: just being a photographer.

“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.”

close enough to touch
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.
