It’s odd to encounter a downtown that is almost entirely deserted. What is it about this city that makes people flee the central hub when the ordinary work week ends? Are we just trying to escape from our jobs? Is out of sight really out of mind?
I wonder what brought about this segregation of our work life and our home life. Were we simply in the pursuit of more space? Were we chasing the ideal of the quiet country? But if the people aren’t downtown, where are they?

where is this photo taken? and is that a reflection in the white rectangle or a mirror? brilliant.

Thanks Shafraaz. I took this behind the Bill Rees YMCA.
It was the reflection that caught my eye at first. I love pictures within pictures.
