[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
On a field trip with Delaware Photographic Society to the Eastern State Penitentiary, Philadephia, Pennsylvania, a member of our group complained that he couldn't get a good shot of the building because of the flea market along its outside walls. My theory is "If Life gives you lemons, make lemonade", so I photographed some of the things for sale.

As shot except for conversion to black & white, not something I do often but I think it made for a better photo.

Hi Lois
Great philosophy behind this shot based on your note
I like the B/W mode and the composition of this shot
Nice hats for sale!

Lois,

I like how the close crop keeps a secret of the location (whether inside or outside) but the answer lies in the mirror's reflection. There is also the added detail of the plastic tarp pulled back from the hats that is dotted with rain. Excellent.
