Edulesco captures that Parisian glow with such vitality. That glimpse through the window feels like an invitation to linger, just as Ruskin urged us to truly see a place, not merely look at it.

A pair of color instant photographs. On the left is the façade of a church with stepped, dark maroon arcs meeting near the roof's crown where there's just enough room for a cross, but the cross is missing and all that's left are the mounting points sticking out from the stucco wall. On the right is a truck trailer for the traveling production of Disney's Lion King with a huge orange and black illustration of Simba on the back doors, its lockrods covering the lion and looking like bars on a cage.

A black and white photograph of work going on in a flood control ditch. Two "ONE WAY" signs were displaced by heavy equipment and haphazardly stacked on top each other and wedged beneath the railing of an overpass, preventing them both from falling in the ditch. A nice, unplanned arrangement.
