Praise be to Daylight Savings Time. I left the house tonight about 5:30 to go see Luka's new bedroom redo and have dinner at Henry's and I took my camera because the sun was still out. Yay! I knew I'd be passing by two teeny sections I missed last time I walked that way.

That is a Subway sign in the window.

I have grown to love Subway sandwich shops and keep my eye out for them; they are so photogenic. In fact, I'm going to start a label (tag) for them. You may not believe that this is a photograph of a Subway shop, but just hold your thumb over the sign so as to block it out and you will see that it is more important than the guy in the striped shirt or even more important than the truck. Please enlarge first.

Here is the appealing little Subway Inn and just a few doors down is a Subway sandwich shop. Mere coincidence, you say?

Heading back to the office, down Madison Avenue. For a long shot of this stretch of street go here.

I'm trying to figure out why this shot doesn't bother me whereas this one did. In the earlier one, I loved the colors and different elements in it: the doorway with light and stairs and the red brick second storey and the dark red free daily box, but it seemed to be too much a photograph about a restaurant. In the present one, many of the same elements are present, the store front with the prominent sign, the doorway to the side and the brick second storey, but I don't get the same feeling, that it's a photograph about the restaurant.

But why? What's the difference? The tree? I almost think that's it. I'd love to hear your thoughts about this.
