Safe Here

I haven't posted here in a while.  I'm going to try to pick up posting from time to time.
A couple years ago I was in one of my old stomping grounds (Knoxville, Tennessee) taking photographs.  The downtown area is a place I frequented often in the early 90s. There was a great cafe (still there today), a dance club called the Underground (no longer there), a couple theaters, and a dozen or so fun shops to visit (search my blog for more Knoxville photography). It's a relatively safe area, though whenever I have taken my mother down there she feels unsafe.  The images below are wrought iron grates in front of the window to a costume shop.  I love the way the repeating patterns seemed to bend and take on other shapes wherever you look in the photo.  It reminded me that we all need a place where we feel safe, whether it's the quiet solitude of the suburbs, in nature, a little cafe in the middle of the city, or online.
