On my way home...

Lately when I’m driving home from work, I pass the time by looking for interesting things to photograph. I got out of work early last Friday, and decided to take the extra time as an opportunity to practice more picture taking.

Every day when I drive down 24th street, the first building that stands out to me is the old church with the beautiful water fountain in the front. I just love the vibe of this place!

A little further down the road, this yellow truck has been on sale for weeks… I think it’s the yellow color and old style that catches my eye from the road.

There’s this brick wall I have driven past hundreds of times before, and it was never anything special, until a few weeks ago. On my normal routine home, I was distracted by an enormous amount of color that stretched at least a mile long, and the police were outside photographing it. Some may call it graffiti, but I think it is stunning. I was a little bit of a chicken, and did not stay as long as I would have liked to take pictures. I wanted to photograph of the entire wall, but the area is not the safest, and it was probably not my smartest move being alone here. But I am still glad I stopped and snapped a few shots.

My last stop was at Gardner’s World, on Baseline. Everyone here was so nice, and let me photograph the facility as long as I wanted. The place stretches back much farther than you would expect from the road. It was so peaceful and so much love has been put into the place. I definitely will return.
