Very, very lucky here to make this capture. I just happened to be walking on Arch St. on my way to shoot something else when I spotted this scene. I knew this window with the dolls, and if you follow my stream, you'll know I had shot it before http://www.flickr.com/photos/62619569@N00/5460340089/in/set-72157621591716668 I could have camped out here for days and never gotten a single photo op, but here I was at the right time and it seemed just too good to be true. In my early shooting days I might have just walked by with my blinders on, heading for that day's target. However I've learned to be open for the unexpected, that sometimes these are the photos that stand out. So I'm done with the dolls window, right? Don't be so sure.

Flashy Trash
I literally jumped out of bed to shoot this one from my window. This was a shot that had been in my head for a long time, but either the trucks came too early or too late for me to capture them, or else the trucks that came through were not the mural-wrapped ones. Finally, just the other day I heard the noise of the trash pickup as I was waking up & I ran for the camera and threw up the screen window and finally got the shot out of my head and onto the memory card. I'm kind of glad it all happened on a nice Spring day. I shot several, but I like this one where the trash guy is almost in a dancer's pose. One thing I noticed later was the reflections in the windows of the car at left. JKEL
