Everyday Street Windows Talking
One of the highlights of February in Calgary is the annual Exposure Festival which showcases the diversity of photography being done in Calgary and beyond with 38 exhibitions across the city.
As most of you know in a previous life I was a bit of a painter and then a curator at a public art gallery and I consider the photography in my blogs as important as the words. In honour of this year’s Exposure Festival I thought I would self-curate a photo essay of windows with words from various cities and towns I have flaneured.
It is as if each of the windows is talking to those who pass by. I hope you enjoy….
Street Talk
After I selected these photos and loaded them to the blog site, I began to wonder if they should be organized in some way. Then it occurred to me that perhaps collectively the words might create a poem or some sort of BEAT story.
I left them as they were and here is the story they tell:
Rise and shine,
WROX
beauti-tone experts
Let your walking do the talking
Live work play
wearing 50 hats
in the cycle district
meet me at the bar
sweat every day
I’m outdoorsy
I drink my wine on a patio
Forget the rules
Lady Luck
If you like it, wear it,
Synonym
heaven’s boutique
Crumbs Cakery and Cafe
eat good…
Three Sister’s Day Spa
Social Room
Embrace the outdoors
Live near the ocean
love of beauty is taste
creation of beauty is art
