Photo by myself on Houston and Mott Streets, in the East Village.
A simple moment on the sidewalk struck me as being painterly.
One of the most enriching things I've gained from snapping photos is a greater appreciation of the environment and the present moment.
The banality of a sidewalk, a storefront, a crowd of people. Just about anything can be an aesthetic experience.

You're right about snapping photo's. You look different to your environment and see things you didn't notice before. You look with "another eye" as we say in dutch.
It looks like a set for a play of detective movie or something! Cool snap, Kitty!
What a wonderful image! Love it.
its the warm glow from inside juxtaposed against cold hard cash...
I totally love this shot - such atmosphere -Super!!
I like your point--no doubt about its truth--AND the photo, for reasons others have stated.
I so agree with you Kitty.
