Note:  You may notice posts such as this posted under the category of “WordPlay.” These are posts where the dictionary definition(s)/ thesaurus synonyms of the photo’s descriptive title/caption word(s) leads back to the name words of this blog: “Meandering” and/or  “Passage.”  A previous “WordPlay” category post example is “zigzag.”  A little mental game to keep the wheels turning in my mind, both while shooting and in posting.

I very much like what you’re doing with these “wordplay” posts.

When I first saw this photo I thought it was taken on the RIT (Rochester Institute of Technology) campus. It was known as “brick city” but I think they are trying to downplay that term now.

Neat exercise Earl. Who would have thought you can now relate “Chinese hutong” back to the name of your blog?! This shot would also make a cool abstract of 3 triangles if cropped about 50% down just where the light hits the path at the far end.

I did some portraits this weekend, before the snow, and used some back alleys for background. Plus we find less hard light and shadows in those alleys. DIdn’t see any motorbikes though.
