It may be work, it may be play, it may be near, it may be away. So here is the challenge - to shoot and post one photograph a day on this site. These photographs are a kind of diary of things I find interesting. I am also thinking that there will be days when I am unable to shoot, so on those infrequent occasions, I will post a photograph done on another day, but one that still feels important to me. - Ken Spencer

How Much Is It?
This photo is just about color. It was late in the day, in the shadows of the buildings on 33rd street. I was passing by and was taken by the incredibly bright orange, contrasted with the brilliant blue. So I stopped and shot it. The people in the street are blue as well, because they are only lit by the blue light of the sky overhead - there is none of the warmer light of the direct sun. Want to hear a funny story? I was traveling with someone once, and saw a store that said it was a "dollar store." I had never heard of one of those, and I forget what I said exactly, but I think it was something like: "Why do they call it a dollar store?" "Because," the answer came, "everything in there costs a dollar!" Duh!
Duh! You have not lived - if you have not been to a Dollar Store. Too busy going to museums huh?

Jack's stores. Jack's world. Who is this Jack anyway?
ReplyDeleteI agree with Joan. Culture is something you can get on all levels, for as little as 99 cents.
