14/365: Chestnut

14/365: Chestnut, originally uploaded by riekhavoc.

I had a meeting this morning with the Director of a local foundation to talk up the amazing work the organization I work for is doing to fight predatory gambling in Philly. Then, after leaving that fancy meething, which was held at the Sofitel hotel (very fancy hotel), I realized I'd forgotten to turn off the sink when I left my office yesterday. So I left my fancy meeting and rushed to my less-than-fancy office to prevent the impending flood from the leaky sink. I took this on my walk over there. It's a shop on Chestnut St, around 11th St, that's been closed for a long time. I love the pattern of the grate, and it works perfectly in b&w, I think.

I don't usually shoot this much b&w, but it seems like my shots right now work well that way.
