Westminster Street is real eye candy - lots of interesting architecture from the late 1800's to early 1900's.
Went down there yesterday to see if there were any interesting City Life II pictures. Being a holiday, everyone must have been having their general frolic somewhere else. One lady on the street corner selling CD's or something saw me with my camera slung around my neck (clutching on furiously as not a super great street), pointed to it and said,"Hey, what are you doing with that?" I guess it wasn't obvious. She was scary-looking so I just smiled and walked on. As my poor lone figure retreated in the distance, she called out, "Lady! Make me famous!" Now I'm kicking myself because she probably would have made a great subject, and I was just too willied-out to notice properly at the time.
Note to self: Get Over It. That lady was eyeing you because she wanted to be photographed, not because she wanted to rob you and then beat you up.
It's snowing furiously here today. First day back to work for monster OT (tax season) and I'll likely be late because I'll be stopping for snow pictures....
Have a great day, everybody! I"ll be back late tonight to see what you guys came up with and comment like a lady insane.
PS If I'm lucky enough to receive a comment from you, please don't be discouraged if it doesn't appear immediately. It's by design, sweetcheeks, to foil those Viagra advertisers who don't have the same discerning eye as you....

Wow, to find such peace on a normally busy street, that has to be a treat. Even though you wanted the opposite. It gives a great oppurtunity to photograph some wonderful architecture. Great Job.
This is cool. Have to agree with matto, great opportunity when there's no one about. :)
Nice architecture is right! I had to laugh about the lady though. I probably would have started snapping pics when she asked what I was going to do with the camera. If for no other reason than to freak her out. lol
Providence is a city I would very much like to visit.. a very old, rustic feel. Especially in this photograph.
In fact, most of the northeastern states (I've been in a few of them), I really like.
Neat! Reminds me of Boston.
-not junk
Great historic feel to the buildings.
It's funny, I'm still trying to get up the courage to take more pictures of random people on the street, and alwasy worried they'll yell at me to stop.
I do like how she asked you though, instead of 'take my picture,' 'make me famous!'
Maybe she'll be there when you go back
Great architectural shot :) I think using the distort tool in PS to get the lines all vertical along the right hand side would improve it.
Great shot.. very peaceful. Maybe try taking almost the same shot on a busier day.. or after the snowfall too as a comparison.
i love how you set this photo up ... !!
I love the architecture of that period...beautiful shot! :)
Great image, love the colors of the buildings and I love anything with that architecture!
Eye candy indeed. This is simply wonderful. Great colors, texture.. great everything. :)
Very nice. I like the staggered heights of the buildings, and of course the colors!
