“Garage Sale”
11:30 PM… no shot… going for a walk. I could hear a distant conversation coming from a SUV parked at the end of our block. As I passed it, they locked their doors. I chuckled. I don’t really look like a thug. I guess it is odd to see somebody in slippers take photos of an empty suburban street at that time of day. I kept walking and stumbled upon this “garage sale” flyer. This type of sales is very popular in the USA, where the owner traditionally sells his unwanted belongings in his garage, or on his front lawn. While most often it’s just junk, sometimes there are great bargains. There’s usually a good reason for those items to be unwanted. I got lucky with the lighting as a car pulled up just enough to illuminate the flyer when I was about to take the shot.
