Legible Light

One of the photography blogs was running a self-portrait contest, and I thought – nah.  Then I walked by this window on Market Street.  This photo really didn’t work in color.  There was too much going on and too many different color temperatures: cool shade on the sidewalk, warm reflections from across the street, the fluorescent light from the shop.  And the contest?  At first I couldn’t remember where to submit the file; then, when I stumbled on the mention of the contest mention again, it was too late.
