Street photography – Photos and Migraines

To the Left – Snapshot of the Day, No. 350

There’s not much of a story associated with this image. I just stopped because I liked the graffiti on the wall. I might not like it if I actually knew what it said, however. This is the outside wall of the Honest Pint pub downtown at Patten Parkway.

French Quarter – Snapshot of the Day, No. 342

I love New Orleans. This restaurant is in the French Quarter, but I can’t quite make out the name. Sorry. We stay away from Bourbon Street and preferring the quieter areas. It rained most of our time there, but that just made things more cosy.

New Year in New Orleans – Snapshot of the Day, No. 341

Since Alabama was in the Sugar Bowl this year (football to those who don’t follow college sports) Joe and I went to New Orleans to watch the game. It just happened to coincide with New Year’s Eve in the French Quarter. One of the best New Year’s Eve’s I’ve ever experienced. We just happened toContinue reading “New Year in New Orleans – Snapshot of the Day, No. 341”

Christmas Parade – Snapshot of the Day, No. 324

We went to the Christmas parade downtown tonight. The Humane Society was there with a bunch of pups. This guy was a little shy before the event actually started. Perhaps he was less than thrilled with his costume.

Sandwich Nazi – Snapshot of the Day, No. 323

Joe and I went Christmas shopping downtown today and stopped in the River Street Deli for lunch. It’s truly one of the best delis in town – plus we had a buy one, get one free coupon. The only problem with the deli is, the owner – not from the South – is a little likeContinue reading “Sandwich Nazi – Snapshot of the Day, No. 323”

Editorial Graffiti – Snapshot of the Day, No. 306

I’m not sure, but since this was spray-painted on the side of one of our buildings, chances are it was left there by one of our employees. Hmmm. No comment.

Buying Groceries – Snapshot of the Day, No. 192

I was buying some corn at P&P Produce today when I saw this mother and daughter (I’m assuming) at the other register. The little girl was so beautiful, I just couldn’t resist taking her photo. I’ve uploaded a couple of other images in this project of P&P, but it’s right down the street from workContinue reading “Buying Groceries – Snapshot of the Day, No. 192”

Taters – Snapshot of the Day, No. 182

I stumbled across this area of food venders today in downtown Chattanooga. They call themselves, Chattanooga Street Food Project, and it seemed pretty cool. Here is a story about it if you’re interested. Since I usually bring my lunch, I did not get a chance to try out the food; but that’s an idea for next week. ThisContinue reading “Taters – Snapshot of the Day, No. 182”

I’ll be Watching You – Snapshot of the Day, No 181

For as long as I can remember, this building – a former gas station – has been vacant. But now it is about to reopen as a restaurant: “Universal Joint.” As for the eyes painted on the building behind it – that was just luck for me. I have no idea why they are thereContinue reading “I’ll be Watching You – Snapshot of the Day, No 181”

Cigars, Gifts & Accessories – Snapshot of the Day, No. 172

I’ve always liked this street – Cherry Street. It’s got an old-world charm to it. I had a few extra minutes today at work, so I slipped out in search of a good photo. Nothing was really presenting itself to me, so I put the ole’ Lensbaby on the camera and made the scene aContinue reading “Cigars, Gifts & Accessories – Snapshot of the Day, No. 172”
