The pool, which casts a mirror reflection, is perfectly still, save for the water which cascades down the side of a tower made of glass bricks.

A black and white photograph of Rodger's News Stand on the Southside of Chicago.

Pictured is Tommie Rodgers Jr., 82 years old, sitting alongside his friend. 

As of this photograph, Tommy had been running the newsstand for about 42 years. His father, Tommie Rodgers Sr., bought it in 1945 after returning from 
World War II.

I believe the newsstand closed a few years after I made this photograph, but I couldn't find any conclusive details.

I was testing a Nikon 135mm L39 mount lens on my Panasonic GF1, and was rewarded with the appearance of a bumblebee hawkmoth at the Echinacea flowers. The second image is at 100%
