On the Street

I am on vacation this week am taking a one-week class at MECA in street photography. Interesting stuff. So here is some more street photography, and there is plenty more to come.

West End Deli on Spring and Park Streets:

This picture below is the Maine Bank & Trust building next to Congress Square. According to the emporis database, the  building is also known as the Fidelity Trust Company Building and the  Bank of Commerce Building. I didn't realize this until I saw the new signs in the window of the building yesterday, but Maine Bank & Trust is no more. It is now People's United Bank (which MB&T has been part of for several years). So they are repainting the name at the top of the building. I like that when big signs like this one are updated because it allows you  to easily identify the age of photographs.

Summer in a City

Portland's pirate ship is still in town (I think it's the same boat, correct me if I am wrong). No, my camera isn't broken, I was just playing around in photoshop:

And  this was today's sunrise from my kitchen, pretty interesting:
