Empty Table and Parked Cars
Poster
Empty Table and Parked Cars -- unfortunately, with the declining economy empty restaurant tables are an increasingly common sight.
Musician -- this is Tarik Banzi, master oud player and percussionist, in a quiet moment before a concert of Middle Eastern music last night in Portland, Oregon.
Man in Freezer -- the local grocery store is being remodeled, and this fellow was taking a little break after installing a new freezer case.
Commuter == young lady texting on a commuter train.
Poster -- this is a tiny detail from a larger student poster in a local grade school.
Tires -- lots of tires, but I bought a new car battery that day.
Singer -- this is Ranjani Krishnan during a performance of Andalusian and Middle Eastern music last year in Portland, Oregon. Actually, this photo was taken with a "regular" camera, but I like it and decided to include it here.

Also, "Commuter" doesn't appear - is it my computer or did you take it down?

Barricades is another favorite—I’m a sucker for greens and oranges in juxtaposition, all the more beautiful when in the context of a found urban beauty at the divide between culture and nature. Makes me think of Denise Levertov’s “Brother Ivy.”
And finally, Poster, which I find possesses a melancholy abstract beauty, a late summer evening loneliness that is deeply moving.
Thanks for the delightful exhibition!
