From untapped cities website - In Flatbush, Brooklyn, a notable and landmarked Sears, Roebuck store stands tall in the parking lot behind the Kings Theatre. The Art Deco building stands as a reminder of the bustling commercial district that activated this neighborhood in the earlier part of the 20th century. This retail flagship was so important, Eleanor Roosevelt delivered the opening remarks in November of 1932 and she is said to have made the first purchase ever in this location, “a pair of baby booties,” reported the Brooklyn Eagle. This building is also the only Sears retail stores opened by the company in the 1930s that is still in operation.
While waiting for my ride home from the Nashville airport I was looking for interesting things to surreptitiously shoot. Also, I was under orders from my son to document my trip photographically.
So, in the interest of shooting the baggage area I set the timer and set my camera on the carpet pointing toward the baggage area. Shortly after I pressed the button, this fellow in the photo started walking directly toward me.
"Busted," I thought. He's going to pummel me for taking photos in an airport.
But, apparently, he was headed toward the phone. Or something. I got away pummel-free.

I was asked to second shoot at a wedding FINALLY. I really just got to play and take candids without the pressure of really getting any specific shots. Now I did have time to pose the bride (like this) when the paid photographer was doing other things. So then my photos were to be shown at the reception on two large TVs - thus, I had no chance to edit them.
I have plenty of more photos, all UNEDITED on my totally neglected blog. Pay it a visit and comment and see if you can spy the "celebrity" that was there. (and I use that term very gingerly)
'On the gray side', near the Florida National Scenic Trail, Withlacoochee State Forest, Citrus County, Fl
A dramatic, low-angle monochrome perspective of the Parish Church of St. Mary in Qrendi, Malta. Completed in 1712, this Baroque masterpiece is captured here focusing on its intricate facade and the heraldic symbols above the main portal. The Latin inscription "Hic Domus Dei Est Et Porta Coeli" (This is the House of God and the Gate of Heaven) is visible, framed by dynamic clouds that emphasize the height and spiritual presence of the architecture.
... so I reduced the saturation till I liked it :-)

A quiet morning on the streets of Bordeaux, captured just after the rain. A puddle stretches across the cobblestones, perfectly mirroring the symmetry of the classical Haussmann-style architecture. The subdued tones and empty street evoke a serene, contemplative atmosphere in the heart of the city.
Lone woman walks up steep stairs coming out from dark underground tunnel into bright light, at the ancient Zoroastrian cemetery in Yazd, Iran.
"SOCRATES: Do you think the one who had gotten out of the cave would still envy those within the cave and would want to compete with them who are esteemed and who have power? Or would not he or she much rather wish... "to live on the land [above ground] as the paid menial of another destitute peasant"? Wouldn't he or she prefer to put up with absolutely anything else rather than associate with those opinions that hold in the cave and be that kind of human being?
GLAUCON: I think that he would prefer to endure everything rather than be that kind of human being."
