This is one that I feel very protective of, because it took a lot of patience and persistence to get it. After several visits when the diner was empty, I finally found the counter full with some good subjects. The next challenge was getting the shot in between the constant flow of market patrons who were passing in front of my chosen vantage point. That took a while, and I was counting on the lunch crowd's indulgence, hoping they would ignore me, dismissing me as some pesky tourist shutterbug from Iowa. Sorry, Iowa. I was laboring, spending a long time, but finally when the cook came into view, I found my moment. JKEL

Music of the Angels
Amen. It is finished. This was a photo project that played out over several weeks because I wanted to give the angels a "celestial" look with a nice blue sky and some fair-weather clouds. Needless to say, you just don't put in an order with the weatherman, and I have a job to go to 5 days out of 7. But finally, I awoke to a perfect shooting sky, and I made my way down here for the 3rd time to put it to rest. Even here, I was feeling pressure because the clouds were swiftly drifting away. Why did I make this so important? The angels are great, and I believe these are the only photos of them on Flickr. That really surprised me, especially with their connection to Marian Anderson, who began singing here in the church choir at age 6. Hey, look, I'm not usually this obsessive about my photos. Really.
