This blog is mostly about images. A photo captures a moment in time and lets us slow down long enough to see the rich texture of the life all around us. It's mostly for my own amusement, but if you stumbled here somehow, please enjoy.

Brownstone

They say a man's house is his castle.  A place to shut the door on the world and retreat to the comfort of hearth and home.  I guess I'm always a little amazed when I observe that dynamic play out over and over again in the midst of a city of millions.  We all need that place to belong, to retreat from the cares of life and relax with our loved ones or the solace of solitude.  A common urge whether home is castle or cottage.  Funny how we even talk about going "back home" to the hotel or temporary lodging while traveling.
