double double by jerm IX, on Flickr

It was early 1996 when I first saw her. Me, fresh off a 20 month stint in the Y/O bing, walking east toward a court mandated AA meeting. Her, sitting in the window of a donut store, glowing with a beauty I never knew existed. I was instantly drawn inside and was pleased to discover that she was sitting with acquaintances of mine. I approached and the following words leaped out of my mouth before I had even considered a move.

"We are going to spend the rest of our lives together."

Somehow, I just knew it.

Here we are over 15 years later exploring an abandoned donut store and celebrating the gift of true love that we have been blessed with.

Jerm, that first photograph is really nicely done. You should keep an eye out for other opportunities where you can capture interior geometry in this kind of worryingly surreal way---you could build an important series out of frames like that one.

I agree with Kowalski. It is a great shot. I've been looking at it for a while and still don't know if I know what I'm looking at. Messes with my mind like Michel de Broin's Superficial series.

I used to drive around Toronto, York, Durham, Northumberland and the City of Kawartha Lakes aimlessly and find a lot of stuff. Now I let the younger explorers like jerm IX do it and they do it very well indeed.

At age 33, am I really the younger explorer?

We need to explore together soon sir, and thanks for the kind words.

And yes tax mouse, fedge has seen 'em all. I've got a lot of catching up to do.

This comment popped into my mind as i snapped this image, as an alarm blared and announced our presence...

Sounds like scene from an 80s porno, details?

Nice work on the mirror shots, really interesting!
