So it was with this photo.
Before my very eyes, the human seemed to slowly emerge out of the wall, unto the sidewalk, as if in a dream ...
Was it?
The camera never lies!

The Camera Never Lies
Slips in photos like typos in writing are springboards to magical impressions.
So it was with this photo.
Before my very eyes, the human seemed to slowly emerge out of the wall, unto the sidewalk, as if in a dream ...
Was it?

Golden Point
How does one siesta in Barcelona?
Well, you bring your lawn chair, your pooch, relax
And , oh yes!
Be sure to wear a suit and tie.
Like my mom always said: "You never know who will be watching"!
FYI: How could I not resist taking his picture. Could you?
I wondered if I would ever see him again.
A few years passed by and we were bumping into each other here and there and everywhere.
He was ever so gracious to let me click away each time we met.
He was indeed as nice as he looked sleeping.

Tapa i àpat
Folks! If you're looking for tapa meals and you happen to be in the barrio of gràcia walking on carrer Gran de Gràcia passing building #44 then YOU have to stop at the Tapa i àpat restaurant.
Let me tell you why!
Locals frequently dine there.
They know how to fry foods which can be a bit tricky.
The service is above par.
Menus are in different languages for the Catalan challenged.
You are special, even if you are a pesky tourist.
So ... all you have to do is order, smell the delicious aromas, eat and pay for the food.
I remember this cafe fondly.
But I warn you. I haven't been there in over a year and this is what I knew, for we were frequent customers. After all, I did shoot this photo to remember the place.
Give them a try and let me know what you think!

Double Take
Oh ... so, it's another booth in a Barcelona market.
But, wait! Can you guess what makes these booths unique?
The lady on the left is the same lady on the right and they aren't even twins!
The image on the right is a silk screen shade.
Imagine that!

As Good As I'll Ever Get
Truly, I like everything about this photo.
The way her body fits snugly on the bench curved like the letter 'y'.
Her big greenish bag and clunky but terribly comfortable shoes.
The shadows and light drape her body like a comforting hug.
She reminds most of all of Helen Hunt's scene when Greg Kinnear began drawing again.
Ah, you know ... one of Jack Nicholson's famous movie!
Can you guess?
But, I am curious.
What do you think, overall?
