urban reflections
If you combine a little bit of impending boredom, a camera outfitted with a vintage lens, an 8th floor hotel room, a view of a parking deck, morning sunlight, and a cold-ass day, this is what may happen.
(I felt that it was important for you to be aware of the risks of traveling with me.)

which way the wind will blow
If you are from someplace where the wind fails to blow nearly every single damn day, you may not understand why people from the Plains will immediately get that this shot was made in an always-windy locale.

alley wagon (also hippies)
Of course you already know, probably, that I will always walk down an alley if walking down an alley is an option. That’s where the most interesting things are.
Anyway, I enjoyed finding this Radio Flyer wagon and a wonky basketball goal lined up this way. And then later, I also enjoyed noticing that the tiny sign above the door notes it as the “hippies and explorers entrance.” I understand the peace sign as a graphic for hippies, so I assume the coffee (or tea) cup is for all the explorers out there.
(And while I technically was an explorer that morning – and could by some metrics also be considered a hippie – I failed to utilize that entrance. A missed opportunity, for sure.)

three random words
I mean, the locals know what this sign refers to. And so do I.
But it is more amusing to think about it as just three random words, doubly stated, along a highway. (Yes: I AM easily amused.)

tiny dreams
It was easy to tell that this little girl was longing for one of those stuffed animals – kids at the fair always want one of those carnival-game prizes. And I am pretty sure her adult stayed there until he’d won one for her.
