Wandering around Baltimore can be quite entertaining. The imagery of the city offers so many possibilities that editing things down becomes the primary difficulty.
This is a zone plate image of King Tut’s Jewelry on Howard Street. What initially attracted me to this was not only the store name, but also the fact that the shadows on the pavement allowed me to make it appear as it the radiance from the jewelry in the store was splashing onto the street.
Just in case you may be wondering, the store next to it is Queen’s Nail Salon. It seems to me that they may have chosen a better font for the sign on the front of their store.
This is the fourth in the series of four images taken at a small public dock in Annapolis, MD.

This zone plate image is the second in the series of four images taken at a small public dock in Annapolis, MD.
In Annapolis, MD there are a few places where the public can go to launch their boats. Conversely, these few places can be used by boaters visiting the city to dock their dingy.
One of those out of the way places is located here, and I have done a series of four zone plate images around the dock. As it leads to a residential area, my guess is that the primary use is by locals, who have boats that are currently on Spa Creek.
One of the most frustrating things for me is my failure to remember names. It seems like I am able to figure out how to do just about anything, but when it comes to remembering the name of someone I should know, I fail miserably. This is particularly embarrassing because the impression is that the person is not important if I cannot even remember their name, which is not actually the case.
There are, however, other times when a name comes from the middle of nowhere and I feel a sense of accomplishment in the simple recall. It is as if the sun has risen and given me the gift of remembering something I normally would not. It is as if the snow has melted just enough to allow me to uncover that which otherwise would have remained hidden forever. I love being aware of these things.
