Ghost

I was right up against the front glass of this luncheonette and I don’t recall seeing anyone close to me at all….odd. Still, the reflection is interesting.

Street Standout

The grand tradition of street photography goes back quite a ways. I suspect most of you reading and looking at this probably weren’t born yet. Indeed, perhaps your parents weren’t even born yet. Much of that photography was done in B&W and much of what does happen with street photography today is still black&white.

I though back to the time I saw this homeless person and asked myself, “What caught my attention?” This is what stood out in my recollection.

The Specialty Bakery

What’s the sensory attribute second only to vision, that can impact your perception about as quickly?  Smell.

I think of all the pleasant smells anyone can encounter, there’s no denying that of a bake shop. The Polka Dot at Greenpoint in Brooklyn is a case in point. While I do not understand Polish, I can comprehend reactions from patrons when they see or hear about something this little bakery offers.
