Simplicity. San Jose, California. December 28, 2011. © Copyright 2011 G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.
A small appliance store front window with many colorful signs, San Jose, California.
This is another in the "walked out my front door and made photographs" series, being a store front that is within a half mile or so of my home. I'm a bit of a fan of photographing the fronts of these small businesses that appear to be anything but chain operations. Each one is its own unique universe and, I assume, reflects the owner's personality in many ways including the cumulative effect of focusing on one small area of the world for many decades. I often wonder what it must be like to live in a world of vacuum cleaners for more than five decades - and I don't mean to imply anything by that question beyond a serious interest in how our primary interests end up influencing how we experience and see the world.
The visual quality of these places also interests me. I can initially simply be overwhelmed by the details that must have accumulated over time - the many brightly colored signs, a few things hung on walls, displays of specialized equipment and materials with brand names I barely recognize. Yet there is a very carefully created order in all of this. It is fun - for me at least! - to spend some time looking at these scenes and starting to pick out the small details that I might not initially notice. (Of course, that is easier with a big print than it is with this little jpg!)

Found this vintage sewing book "Simplicity Sewing Book" (1967) at Thrift Store.
I don't sew garment, but it is fun to read!! Maybe one day, I am confident enough, I'll give it a try.
Pain throws you heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
No, it won't all go the way, it should
But I know the heart of life is good.
John Mayer - The Heart of Life
I don’t drink coffee but I like sitting in every now and then to enjoy the simplicity atmosphere with a cup of drink, with a book, with my laptop and music on even though I was alone sometimes.
I wish it could stay that way forever.
