Framed

I saw this painted on the front of The Indoor Sun Shoppe. I think I was into obstructed views on this particular afternoon. I wanted to take this like I was actually seeing this woman standing in her natural environment. The plastic chair kind of messes up that illusion, though, doesn’t it?

Phil – A short study

While watching the Seahawks take a substantial beating in the first half of this past Sunday’s game, I distracted myself from the horror by taking some photos of a leaf. It’s from our philodendron plan we named Phil. It’s pretty much how I felt that entire first half.
