It’s been a while. So, sue me.
I could lie and say I was busy, but I won’t. I’ll tell you the truth: the weather was too darn miserable.
This set of pictures, this whole one-lens-no-cropping-no-Photoshop experiment, requires me to walk around the city. I’m mostly cold-proof but I just couldn’t bring myself to hang around outside. Nobody else was around anyway. They were all scurrying to and fro.
In the future, I’ll try and stick closer to my once-a-week goal.
Anyway, now the weather’s getting better and there’s more to see on the streets of my dear old town. I hope you like what I saw.
