This photo shows Adam Goodman, me, and Dug Song posing together for a selfie in a casual office setting with exposed brick walls and wooden shelving in the background. On the left, Adam is wearing a black beanie with a logo, glasses, and a black t-shirt that reads "Walking & Biking & Public Transit." He has a beard and is wearing a messenger bag strap across his chest. His name tag reads "Adam Goodman." In the center is an older gentleman with glasses and a warm smile, wearing an olive green button-up shirt over a striped shirt. He's wearing light-colored pants with a belt and has a messenger bag strap. His name tag appears to read "Peter Honeman." On the right, Dug is wearing round glasses and a mustard yellow knit beanie. He's dressed in a green Carhartt jacket over a white shirt and also has a green hooded sweatshirt visible underneath. The setting has a comfortable, community-oriented vibe with the brick walls, open shelving with various items, and the casual, friendly nature of the photo. ALT by Claude

This photo shows a menorah (a nine-branched Jewish candelabrum) that has been used for Hanukkah celebrations. The menorah is made of brass with gold-colored cups for holding candles. What’s particularly striking about this image is the dramatic aftermath of use - the menorah is covered in extensive wax drippings that have accumulated and hardened in flowing, organic shapes. The wax appears in shades of cream, tan, and purple-gray, creating almost sculptural formations that cascade down the branches and pool at the base. The Star of David is prominently displayed in the center of the menorah. The menorah is positioned aluminum foil placed to catch drippings, and is sitting by a window with a building visible in the background. The contrast between the deliberate, symmetrical design of the menorah and the chaotic, natural patterns of the melted wax creates an interesting visual effect - it’s beautiful and haunting, showing the physical evidence of many nights of lighting candles during the eight-day Hanukkah celebration.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ ALT by Claude

This nighttime photograph shows the storefront of a shoe repair shop. The shop has large display windows framed by decorative curtains in pink and turquoise/mint green colors. The window displays "Shoe Repair" text both painted on the glass and on a black sign visible inside. There's also an "OPEN" sign hanging in the upper portion of the window. The text "Park Shoe Repair" (with "Park" partially visible) is painted on the window as well. Inside the illuminated shop, you can see various items on shelves including shoe repair equipment, vintage objects, figurines (including a bust or head sculpture), lamps, and various knick-knacks creating an eclectic, cluttered display. The interior has white walls and fluorescent lighting visible at the top. The shop appears to be in a darker commercial area, with the surrounding areas mostly in shadow. The overall aesthetic suggests a traditional neighborhood shoe repair business with a quirky, vintage character. ALT by Claude

the shoe repair shop on n 4th ave has redecorated their window (and it looks nice)

thanks, it’s been a long time coming — we had an apartment reserved in marina di novaglie in may, 2020 and then …

we’re planning to roam around for a few weeks in a rental car come spring. thanks for the guide.

This is a black and white photograph showing a suburban residential scene from the 1980s based on the cars and architectural style. The image features a two-story colonial-style house with white siding and black shutters. The house has a distinctive gambrel roof design on an attached garage section on the left side. Yours truly in light-colored clothing stands in the driveway between two period cars - American-made sedans from that era. The property appears newly developed, with sparse, recently planted landscaping including some small shrubs near the house foundation and a young tree on the right side. The lawn looks freshly seeded or laid, and there's a lawn spreader or similar equipment visible on the grass in the foreground right. In the background, you can see other houses under construction or recently completed, suggesting this is a new subdivision development. The overall composition captures that classic American suburban expansion moment, documenting a family's new home in a growing neighborhood. ALT by Claude

there used to be a mill race where the cascades are now that powered a water wheel for a (flour?) mill where the electric substation is now. a small canal returned the water to the huron river, bordered by canal st.
