Cotton Candy

My plan for 2023 is to make a post each week with a photo that I took that week, and then when I can, post photos I have taken in the past that are somehow connected.

This week it is cotton candy. Sometime you remember the photos that you didn't take. When I first started talking photos or people on the street, it was an intimidating experience – sometimes it still is especially if I am out of practice. One day is was walking on Kedzie with my camera, and walking towards me was someone with a big stick of cotton candy. I thought too long and never lifted my camera. Since then I have taken these photos, but still remember the one that I didn't take.

Approaching on the street. He must have been hoping that drivers would buy the cotton candy since there were no pedestrians on the street. Taken on Peterson at Western in Chicago (January 2, 2023)
