Historic Denechaud House

Built in 1887, it was originally the Denechaud European Hotel and Restaurant. Today it houses the law firm of Comer & Upshaw and a residential loft.

Bamboo on 2nd

Yesterday we visited The Collins Bar on 2nd Avenue North, today we cross the street and have a look at my talented friend Sarah Soule Webb's terrific octopus now hanging at Bamboo on 2nd. Bamboo features not just sushi but Asian fusion dishes.  I am hearing rave reviews for this place.

Downtown, Urban Standard, Very Cool

Thankfully Birmingham downtown is coming to life. We are most grateful. On Second Avenue North we have some groovy ( pardon my age)  places to eat and hang out. Urban Standard serves great food, but also provides some great photo ops for all of their photography patrons. Yesterday I had to rely on my iPhone.

Sharing The Love

Spotted outside Charm, one of my favorite places to shop downtown!

Chalk It Up

Even outside Space One Eleven, the space beneath their windows is put to good use by budding artists!

Faith Skate

Faith Skate on 2nd Avenue downtown is a foreign but very cool place for me. "Fish out of water", probably fits.  The colors and designs appeal to my photographer's eye. I'm way past trying one out for size!

Sighted on Second Avenue North.  Scooter Envy!

Board...with nothing to do

There was a lot going on with Art Walk taking over 1st and 2nd Avenue Friday night so the skateboarders were just hanging out. 

Not Just Any Dinettes...

but FASHION Dinettes.  Question, how many of you remember these? Spotted on 2nd Avenue North.

Wheelies

Faith Skate Supply on 2nd Avenue North.  Obviously not a place I would normally hang out but it makes for some great photo ops.

After Hours

Well this place, located on 2nd Avenue North in downtown Birmingham looks like a gallery I need to revisit when they open!

Sundown on Second Avenue

A week ago my friend Bill and I did a late afternoon shoot in downtown Birmingham. I caught this one with high hopes that the setting sun would come out just the way I saw it. Not so much. I'll go back and try again. Meanwhile, Bill caught the photograper grappling with the sunset!
