I decided with the nice weather today that I'd go downtown and walk around a bit and try to get some photos, so quite a few of those my end up on here over the next few days. This building is on the corner of 3rd and Main where the China Panda restaurant is located. Inside they have a lot of photos of the buildings in different phases over the years, some with only 2 stores, some with 3. Every time I go get takeout from China Panda I look at these photos. I think it used to be a hotel but now it houses the chinese restaurant, a coffee shop, and has apartments upstairs.

Brick Lane - a predominently Bangladeshi area of east London is where businessman Mahmoud Rauf is based and has lived most of his life. He protested against the book he is reading from - Brick Lane by Monica Ali. He thinks it is better that it were not on the shelves.

The nearby neighbors painted this over (not very successfully -it still shows through). They couldn't get why I shot this.

No. 2 in my 100 Strangers

I met this woman in Brick Lane, London. She was selling "car boot" type items - things that were surplus to the requirements of both her and her daughter.

She had several pairs of trousers for sale - she thought they'd sell well on a cold day, but she was proved wrong.

Experiment- did not look through the viewfinder while taking majority* of these photos, just pointed the camera in a general direction, clicked the shutter and hoped for a decent result.

These are the bricks on my apartment house. No manipulation. They cleaned the bricks two years ago.

Closeup of brick on the Currituck Beach Lighthouse in Corolla, NC. I love the details of brickwork used to make these amazing historical structures.

The house I grew up in was recently torn down. I spent some time taking pictures of the textures I grew up around.
