I went for a walk around the neighborhood this afternoon, and ended up spending
most of my time photographing brick walls.
I think this is my best brick wall photo of the day:

That is by far the best and most interesting image of a brick wall I
have ever seen! Not at all what I had anticipated when you said
brick wall. The entire set is quite interesting and, of course,
quite well done.

This is another version of Snow in the City, taken a minute or so
earlier. The out-of-focus is perhaps not as obvious, although pretty
much the same. It lacks the color of my original Snow in the City
post, however, so I like the original one better, even with the more
obvious focus problem.

I try to distance any emotion or the 'knowledge that I was there' when

I ask myself 'If this was someone else's image and not mine, would I
like it as much?'.
I look at those that make the cut a number of times and a few days

buttons. I couldn't possibly disagree more with Moose. If you want

Yes, the two faces, one live and one in a poster, make the image much
