A Sign Of The Times

I spent Saturday with a good friend who also happens to be an excellent photographer.  He is a "Fuji Guy" like myself.  He lives about a 4 hour drive from me so we don't often get time to spend together, but when he is in town, we always try to make time for a day out for photography.  In the past, I've written about the value of photographing with friends and I still highly recommend it.

We traveled to Richmond, Virginia to do a couple of "photo walks," visit some historical venues as well as to explore some cemetery photography.  I've had an ongoing "Cemeteries" project for years and I always like to visit cemeteries to find anything I can add to the unique group of images I have accumulated over the years.

It was a warm, beautiful but humid day, with lots of cumulus clouds and sunshine and we had a great time.

We ate lunch in the Carytown section of Richmond, which reminds me of one of the New York City neighborhoods.  It has a lot of energy, many small restaurants in old buildings, coffee shops, murals painted on walls, pedestrian traffic and just busy in every way you can imagine.  A neighborhood with renewed character.  Not a bland, redeveloped urban area at all.  

As we walked in an alley from where I parked my vehicle, we spotted this old sign painted on the brick wall of the back of a restaurant.  I chuckled when I read it and understood the nuanced message.  I thought you might enjoy it as well.

Thanks for looking. Enjoy!
