I was scooting from the post office to the bookstore when I saw this lovely young woman waiting for a bus. I've learned to just ask if people are OK with my taking pictures of them. I mean, the worst they can say is no. But, happily, Lamia said yes. Not only did I get some shots I liked but I was able to see how the bus handles scooters. The answer is very well indeed. That's a comfort to know.

My task today was to choose and prepare entries for B&W Magazine's 2009 Single Image Contest. The CD had to be postmarked by June 2 (today) so I was down at the post office at 5 p.m. putting it in the mail. It's a cool contest because the winners' photos will be published in a 244-page Special Edition of the magazine next February. Sure would love to be part of that. Let's hold the thought...
