Early Morning on North Damen

Ok what is that lump in the middle of the sidewalk? I can't figure it out. Been staring at it for hours. Inquiring minds need to know! It could be your backpack. Or a stunted fire hydrant. There appear to be fingerprints all over the sidewalk, too. There's more here to notice than I at first thought! What is the bright light on the man's butt (but not on his back)? Aside from all this, I like the tones, the empty streets, the feeling of pre-business hours. I've been on a corner just like that corner, only someplace else. Deja vu.

flaw? what flaw? But I'll tell you what I notice, because I get images with this same strange deep shadows/lack of contrast/odd saturated colors effect. It goes away if I change to a wider aperture. I don't understand why it happens. The dog is adorable. The clear plastic whateveritis is interesting distraction. The wall is the true subject of the shot, for me. I love the way it curves off into space & disappears.

"I'm grokking you." This is very scary. The face of a tv evangelist...a stranger in a stranger land.

The sun made some nice shadows & tired out my eyes even from here. That painting makes this shot.

I've been looking at this for a while. Feeling stranger & stranger. Feeling very American. Thanks for this glimpse into another life.
