I Spy

I've recently started a little photo series on things I spot through closed store windows and fences. (I know. Maybe that sounds slightly creepy, but let's just go with it.)

I like the fuzzy effect the protective bars and fence wires make on the edges of the pictures as my lens sticks its nose in where it doesn't belong. I mean, those bars and wires are just doing their job, right?

My favorite of these is the piano. I noticed it in abandoned in a school yard, which was sort of creepy-cool. The image of a dirty, left-for-trash piano in the back of a school just seems to be BEGGING for a short story to be written about it...

I love this series! I'd also love to know what you were doing in an abandoned school yard :)

wonderful series. it's always great to see that faint reflection on the windows to see what's behind you as well.

Thanks, peeps! It's been hard to find things that are cool AND are sort of hidden. I'll keep posting more as I find them. It's a fun project.

P.S. Lindsey, I spied the abandoned school yard from the sidewalk as I was peeking through a fence. Wish it had been something more glam/dangerous!
