Urban Oddities

I love driving around early on a Sunday morning to hunt for subjects. There isn’t much traffic, and you see the results of the previous week. These photos were from such a morning near to my home in Westfield, NJ.

The skeleton was hanging out behind a store, obviously having been used for a Halloween decoration. I loved both the more documentary-type photo as the more close-up version. While these photos are all Olympus EM-1 digital photos, it would probably have been great if I had taken my pinhole camera and got about 3-4” from the skeleton’s face.

The other two are the repeated subject opportunities that are available at local, retail businesses if you look.

For all these photos, you have to go around BACK. I find about 10x the number of interesting photos behind storefronts vs what’s out front.
