Cathedral Street



I like taking pictures out the window of cars. I only do this as a passenger as it affords me the luxury of looking. Composition can be mostly guesswork but I try to anticipate what is coming up and then snap at what seems like a good moment. This time, I believe the car was stopped at a traffic light. The windshield was dirty but I actually liked that because I think it adds another layer to the photo. It makes it look less flat. Also, it gives it a little bit of urban grittiness that befits the subject.

This photo shows no distinct landmarks on Cathedral Street, but the street itself was named for the Baltimore Basilica that is across the street from the Enoch Pratt Library.
