Sideways Rain

It was yet another intense weather morning in late March. Luckily, I got to stay indoors and just watch, rustle papers and sip tea. There is a small beauty in using a window as a way to show texture, versus as an invisible lense to see through. Here's a 'view from my window' offering. Any other offers?

What's my bag...

While in India, I shopped, it's something to do there. It can be fun, daunting, exotic, all of the above. During this activity in a number of locations, I collected a variety of bags, some purchased, some came with the purchase. Maybe in an alternate life, I should collect bags of the world. Actually, maybe I already do?
It seems my fascination with other cultures is the everyday object: shopping bags, calendars, street life, food (always!) I want to extend that to here, home, NYC (mostly downtown). See home with a different sense of place, a more objective (but not just about objects), more wonder (but not with the ignorance of the tourist).
Let's see how it goes....
I have my bags packed (so to speak)...
