I like the way what I'm guessing is actually rust looks a bit like electrical burns in b&w.; 08 January, 2010 10:26

I've been thinking about you as I read & see some great lines. It's another kind of awareness. Do you match the lines to the photo or the other way around or either way?; 08 January, 2010 19:06
Martina said...: kobico, yes, it is rust. Funnily enough there was nothing in the vicinity resembling a manhole, tunnel etc.. Just a wall with the sign .. eh ...

Serge, oui, et les Français attachent le signe sur le mur du palais de Versailles ... ;-)

Joan Elizabeth, attention and volts might be universal, :-).

Tash, depends. With a hard-to-quote text like with the novel I am reading right now I start with the quote and browse the archives. When I just came home with a bunch of new photos I want to show - I start with the photo. If there is nothing to quote in the novel, I go through the New Yorkers piling up here, then to my Pearls Before Swine Calender, then to Shakespeare ... :-); 08 January, 2010 23:33
