Last Saturday, before Karaoke-athon, I wandered for hours around the Lower East Side and East Village. Just walked and walked and walked for so long my ankles hurt from improper (yet stylish) footwear. The temperature has dropped about 15 degrees here and it is amazing. The evenings have a nice breeze, you don’t feel like you need a shower just 5 minutes after taking one, etc, etc.

I snapped this shot because I thought there were so many interesting textures, shapes and colors going on, and the lighting was good too. I try not to use the flash on my camera, because natural light is so much better, casting appropriate shadows, etc. It wasn’t till later that I realized this photo also contains a nice contextual message.
