Abstract Photos

The first photo was taken in a store window at Mac Make-up. The picture of the girl caught my eye. The second photo was of a Zara billboard down in Soho. The third photo was in the streets of Soho. The fourth photo is a picture of pipes. I was walking down the side walk and it caught my eye. The colors, and I took a picture with my many pipes so it could fill in the frame. The last photo was taken inside a store. This picture is my favorite. I find the graffiti interesting.
