(another) face

I know faces, because I look through the fabric my own eye weaves, and behold the reality beneath

I took this shot yesterday during a hike with a group of friends in the beautiful countryside surrounding Ciudad Rodrigo, España. You can see more on my new photo-reportage site salamancastreets.

I thought this one apposite for the weekly photo challenge too!

I took this shot yesterday during a photoshoot for my (relatively) new photo-reportage site salamancastreets.

My post no aparcar (which features a lot more graffiti) from that shoot has now been posted, and I chose not to include this shot, but it fits this challenge perfectly?

deliberation

My prompt for this week’s Poetry 101 Rehab is DELIBERATION and it was inspired by a walk below the strip in Las Vegas on a hot spring afternoon as I prepared to leave.

You can find our more about my trip on the strip here.
