An outtake from an assignment this weekend

It's good to remember, when I'm taking pictures on assignment, to take a few pictures for myself as well. It's definitely one way to push myself to keep developing my eye, and it also serves as a reminder of why I'm out here doing this. I've been looking at Luc Delahaye's book Winterreise a lot this week, analyzing the images, and the editing and sequencing of them, and wondering just how in the world he got some of those pictures. It's one of my favorite photography books, and it's no surprise I found myself imitating him a little (whoops...I mean, "allowing myself to be influenced by his work") while photographing for a feature on great cafes, bars and restaurants.
