When I go out these days, it’s more likely than not that I am going with a purpose in mind: Meeting a friend, seeing a specific art exhibit, going to a reading. But it’s hard not to see things while you’re en route.
The Sartorialist sees fashion wherever he goes, and that usually involves taking pictures of people. Me, I like items.
Sometimes I wonder if this isn’t one of my greatest failings as a writer: I anthropomorphize everything from construction lights to goldfish. But when it comes to people, I’m less about imagining what might be going on in their heads and more about observation. I wonder which is more important. Anyway, here are some things I’ve seen recently. And some potential dialogue scraps. 🙂 The last two are from the Norwalk Aquarium. No captions needed.





Is it me or does that Albino Alligator have the whitest teeth?
I was absolutely stunned by how white they were, too, Amalia! Colgate smile, indeed!
