lunch at the Cass Cafe

Do you find yourself whipping out your camera and taking pictures wherever you go? Of course I'm luckier than most because I always have my camera bag with me in the basket of my mobility scooter, so I have no excuse not to use it. I know I've said this before but it bears repeating: It's now as if I see--truly SEE--through the viewfinder of my camera. If I don't take a picture of something it's as if I didn't really see it. Are you the same?

I took this photo at lunch on Tuesday after attending Aku Kadogo's Black Theater class at Wayne State University. The Cass Cafe is one of my favorite restaurants, and my feelings are shared by many students and faculty. They have a walnut lentil burger to die for. Yum!! They also have rotating exhibits of wonderfully original, often funky, art on the walls. On your next trip to Detroit, be sure to put the Cass Cafe on your "must see" list!

Speaking of which, here's a heads-up call to all lovers of electronic music. Movement 08, Detroit's Electronic Music Festival, is happening May 24-26, America's Memorial Day weekend. It is AWESOME!!! DJs, live performers and music lovers come from across the globe to Detroit for this amazing experience. To see their web site and order tickets, CLICK HERE. This will be my 4th festival and I've already bought my ticket for this year. I can't wait!!! To see my Movement 07 photo galleries, CLICK HERE.

Ditto,Patricia.
I almost always have a camera with me. I am so happy that I can now "see" life so much better than I did 10 years ago,or even 5 years ago. Life is amusing,sad,complicated,sometimes simple. There's always a story...something is always happening at the blink of an eye and I don't want to miss any of it!

I soooo agree with you but i think i learned to see at a very young age, on my own, and my eyesight is still improving more and more with years ;)))
You are wonderful!

Yes, it is even troublesome to LIVE through the viewfinder!

Yes, it takes me a minute or more through the view finder to get the picture...never just snap anymore so there is a story behind it. It is an art, my friend, and you are the artist!
