Single-Serving Photo

on the weekends i while away the hours working in a flower shop. it is located in a busy collection of odd/hip stores coexisting in one building; all hardwood floors and old woodwork. there is a toy store next door to the florist where i plunk myself. frequently i hear tantrums, followed by a parent carrying a kicking, screeching child down the hallway and outside. but, when the children are running this way (in the photo) they are just jonesin’ to get to the store. i see little blurs run by all the time. chased by slightly more exasperated, older, less blurry parents.

In the words of Borat, “When do we have sexy intercourse?”

I hope this was someone’s idea of a joke. Or at least their idea of jokingly disposing of a joke gift. Or at least an inappropriate disposal of a joke gift. Let’s just say I wasn’t going to touch it.

I was at the office late one night. Okay, not that late… In any case, I decided I should turn out the lights and take some pictures in the dark. This one came out alright. I manipulated the color channels for kicks.

And this is my parking lot at home.
