Some days all I want to do is walk around and see stuff. Some days that's all I'm capable of doing.

When you're cold & miserable & feeling alone, it helps to remember that warmth is other people.

The people of Minneapolis warm us all with their courage and decency in the face of the ugliest oppression.

There was a patch of dead ivy maybe 15 yards wide on a wall in a narrow walkway. I spent a ridiculous amount of time looking for the 'best' bit of dead ivy to fit into a 3:2 aspect ratio.

This will make sense to photographers.

A black-and-white photograph of dead (well, actually it's probably just dormant) ivy.

It's winter & I usually shoot a lot more monochrome during these cold, bare months. But some scenes just demand color.

The sexiest alleyway ventilation ductwork ever (assuming that's what it is...all I know is that the sunlight made it pretty).

#ricohgr3x #ricohsnaps #photography #DemocraticCamera #streetphotography #SurfaceMapping
A random bit of sunlight got all weird in an alleyway, illuminating what I assume is some newly replaced aluminum ventilation ductwork.

"Hey, can I take a photo your dog?"
"Sure."
"What's his name?"
"Morris."
"Morris, give us a smile."

I never think to ask the name of the human on the other end of the leash.

I saw the woman's reflection in the 1st window & managed to get the camera up in time to catch her in the 2nd window. Couldn't have done that with my other cameras.

Sometimes you just need a little bit of sunshine to remind you that it's not always going to be this dark.
