    Tremble Court

    Passing Through Tremble Court
    Passing Through Tremble Court

    Tremble Court is a small store in the Old Town Square. Three walkways meet at the store’s front door, one  being an alley. As I was walking through Tremble Court towards the square I noticed this woman walking towards the court from the alley. I walked past the three way intersection while composing an image in my head. I then stopped and turned to wait for her to pass through. She is coming from the direction of a homeless shelter and with her heavy bags I assumed her to be homeless. I took two images as she walked by. She was carrying what I assume to be all she had. Her body is stooped over due to a bad back, heavy bags or both.  When I see homeless people who only own what’s on their back it causes me to realize all that I have.

    I have been doing a lot more shopping at the local farmers market this summer. There is a farm offering a five pound bag that you can fill for $10 or half full for $5. I like to go for the half full bag. It’s surprising how much I can get. One morning the guy leaned forward, smiled and told me to grab a cantaloupe. I find it interesting how disgusting (dirty) the food seems to young kids who have only known food from a supermarket. I think this guy has what he wants.

    The Artists Hands

    The Artists Hands
    The Artists Hands

    This past weekend a woman sat across from me at one of the local coffeehouses I patronize. After sitting down I noticed she pulled out a small sketch book from here purse and began to draw. Her hands and the task of sketching immediately perked my attention. After interrupting her she agreed to allow me to photograph her hands as she sketched. This then led to a short conversation and a chance to share something about one another.  A camera has the potential to allow for new encounters. Thank you, Betty!
