A series of miscellaneous errata with the possible only common thread of being a bit less polished, a bit rougher round the edges and in the middle

power pole perspective
Bansko

power lines are everywhere, they blight almost every city, it's near impossible to take a picture and avoid them.  thus if you make it the subject of your picture you've conquered the quandary of how to photograph around them.

life in a small town
Bansko

not quite sure why i like this picture but it really works for me.  it is raw, gritty to be sure, and it shows the real Bansko which is a block or two off the main tourist streets.  here is where the real people are, here is where life happens, here is Bulgaria.
