So this blog is presumably meant for b&w photography, but I’m so fascinated with my new film scanner that I can’t help posting some color photos.This one was taken on our honeymoon while we were visiting the Monterey Aquarium. We stopped in a little shop to buy a snack, and for some reason I found the counter area interesting.I love my Contax G1 for this type of photography. It’s small, very nice to carry around, nearly as simple as a point & shoot, and the lenses are beautifully sharp.

I really like this one. I keep coming back to stare at it. The hand written signs are awesome.

I have a thing for signs, which is probably what drew me to take this picture. Hand-written signs are the most interesting, I think. Maybe I'll post some more pics of the signs I've taken.

I think I'll be on the lookout for some myself. I don't think I'll ever beat the infamous Quick stop "Enjoy Cock" sign on a coca cola display near one of my old hang out spots. Of course I didn't have a camera.
