Some Friday going-home-from-work photos

Posted on November 6, 2021 by Katherine Wikoff

Perspective (2)

Posted on January 22, 2015 by Katherine Wikoff

Bright sunshine today for the first time in maybe a week. Had to pull down the blinds in my office . . . at which point I noticed another “perspective”-type convergence of lines similar (vaguely) to my post last Friday, … Continue reading →
