Evening photography in the suburbs.

bike parking

This is what I like most about digital photography, being able to use parking lot lights for lighting. I realize that this really isn’t much of a photograph - it’s just a bicycle locked up on a railing in front of a fast food place. It’s about 5:15 pm during the winter and I’m walking home from the metro with my digital camera. I like the confusion though and the negative space and the shapes that are created with the metal and in the middle of all this visual noise there is an orange diamond with instructions.  It’s kind of an over the top snapshot. Anyway, here it is. Another day in the suburbs. What a funny word, suburbs. It’s an old word - [Middle English suburbe, from Old French, from Latin suburbium : sub-, sub- + urbs, urb-, city.] suburbium is more fun to say.

I’ll get back to more faces next.
