Very interesting shots of urbania
Babooshka said at 4:07 a.m. on Oct 6, 2008:
very nice pictures, really like the way you have some detail pictures!

Did you know that Jerusalem was called Salem in the old times? I'm talkin' bout a few thousand years back then!

Great images. Is that some guy's 'rug' on the asphalt in #8? Maybe this is Stephen King's Salem's Lot, where vampire scumbags roam at night:)

super duper Abking classic! no favorites, they're all "random cohesion that feels like jazz" ;) but "blue journal" is mysterious, question mark...

Photos # 20 & 21 are terrific. Good job, ALLAN.
Flash said at 10:04 a.m. on Oct 6, 2008:
I've always wanted to visit Salem, thanks for the tour.
Ira said at 11:30 a.m. on Oct 6, 2008:
Your photos are filled by a reality. But it is a strange reality. Magic and mysterious. Unusual beauty. From other world. Perfect job!

As our friend Mose says: "I don't want much in this world It's the simple things I treasure"

Shots happen. but if no one is around to "see them" they never get taken. thank you for seeing them, and crafting them into your wonderful stories. you make these everyday glimpses into found art.
this one flows so well. like the chalk drawings reappearing to knit the tab together. love the framing in mysterioso. the nice surprise in the reflection. Projector evokes abandon and intrigue. Unlocking is pure serentipity. the captions delight my twisted sense. I like to Fly Away on your tabs.

Love these random slices of life. They are music for my soul.

Thanks for the wonderful comments Andre, Den, Kelly, HofJ, Babooska (never knew that about Salem's name), Mike (some kind of hair piece-don't know where it went or where it came from), Annelies (blue journal is a...oh, you know), Eduardo (had to count photos-didn't realize there were that many!), Flash, Ira, Pam (I know what you mean and wanted to rephrase it for proof but I can't!), and Linda (for hearing the music).

Karsten said at 12:41 a.m. on Oct 8, 2008:
allan - just great captures! tanks for taking me to salem with your eyes!
AliDar said at 1:20 a.m. on Oct 8, 2008:
That's amazing that someone would paint over the letters of scumbag so that they were easier to read! love your caption on that.
Wopmusic said at 3:47 p.m. on Oct 8, 2008:
good work 'king, some great shots!
Wopmusic said at 3:49 p.m. on Oct 8, 2008:
why didn't you paste a mccain/palen sticker on the 'scumbag' truck. it's cryin' out for one!
Wopmusic said at 3:51 p.m. on Oct 8, 2008:
love the blank billboard/movie screen. that's my kind of photo art.

Intersting tabblo. I love the "small" shots, the shots with the small subjects such as the calkdrawing bird and the little cruched leave. Great work Allan.
