13 Mailboxes

February 15th, 2013

13 Mailboxes
I don’t know why, but I really like the number 13. Some people go out of their way to avoid 13. Not me. In fact, I’m about to embark on a yearlong project for 2013. I’m going to pick 13 random subjects. Take 13 snapshots of each. And we’ll see if we can paint a portrait of Rochester.

Let’s start with the seemingly mundane mailbox. Most of these snapshots were taken near Sea Breeze…

This was fun. Let’s do it again next month. If you have an idea for a subject, or you’d like to submit your own set of 13 photos, email me.
