Store window reflections can create interesting effects, so why don't I take more photos of them? Probably because I don't spend much time around stores, except for our local market that is. But today I scooted down to our community's two-block shopping street with the intention of taking self portraits in store windows.

I wonder what makes some people shoppers and others not. Perhaps the impact of advertising has something to do with it. Except for the past few weeks of watching the Olympics on TV, advertisers generally have a pretty hard time getting my attention. I don't read newspapers and the few magazines I take don't carry ads. I guess I see roadside billboards but they don't seem to make much of an impact. Besides, what do I need? At this stage of life I'm trying to get rid of things not accumulate more.
