Walking through town on a rainy day. The guys on the left almost look like a series of one guy descending. For some reason my first thought when I saw this was to do a selective colour as the day was so grey to start with.
This image is dedicated to Reto / swisscan, who recently retired from Flickr, either permanently or for an extended break -- hopefully the latter. People come and go from Flickr, but it is a bad sign when longstanding contributors of high-quality work leave because, as Reto recently put it, "Flickr has become a dumping ground and a battle field". I think there is still more good than bad, if you are selective, but... something to think about.

Time to have our windows professionally cleaned on the outside. This is a job not suited to the faint of heart. Taken yesterday from my living room window.

The first picture I shot in Chicago was of these window washers literally dangling by ropes and washing windows.

I had seen the ropes dangling all morning and knew that they were washing the windows, so I got my camera out and had it ready to go at a moment’s notice. When the window washer showed up by my desk I grabbed my camera and started shooting away. When he was nearly done squeegeeing one side of the window, he looked inside and was startled to find me photographing him. I paused, pointed to my camera nodding yes and gave him a thumbs up. He nodded yes back and continued to squeegee the other half of my window.
