Sometimes, you have to improvise. Here, my rain jacket acts as a bean bag and the lens hood is repurposed to prop up my camera as I shoot last night’s fireworks at the Calgary Stampede. Below, one of the resulting photos.

London, England, U.K.

A neat name for a coffee shop. Department of Coffee and Social Affairs appears to be a small chain of socially responsible coffee shops, mainly located in London, with outposts in Manchester, Bristol and … Chicago. Came across this outlet in The City, London’s financial district.
