Night photo shoot on Pearl Street Mall

I am certifiably crazy! I met a new Flickr friend, Cat Girl 007 for an evening photo shoot. We scheduled this about a week an a half ago ... BEFORE the weather turned giving us a HIGH of 11º, which meant by 5pm when we met it was colder. We met the challenge anyway! And by the time I drove home at 8:30pm my car registered -3º. Like I said, I'm now certifiably nuts!!

I didn't catch the shop name where these Christmas balls hung. By the time I caught a few shots, my fingers were frozen. Nevertheless, this image reminds me to celebrate the beauty of the season.

We ducked into a neat little shop called Bayleaf on Pearl to get warm. We must have spent an hour in there, just the two of us, snapping away. The young sales associate, Taylor, didn't seem to mind. As I chatted with her a bit, she said it's no problem as long as we don't post anything with labels—something called product sourcing. That was new to me. I learned something.

I got other interesting shots ... will try to get them posted tomorrow! Don't miss Part II here .

  10. Magnificent! Your photography just gets better and better, Lissa. The texture work too. Texture lifted the Christmas balls in shop window shot to a whole new level. Wow. And your eye for spotting great design is sharp too -- loved the napkins from that angle.
