through the bus window

, originally uploaded by lutefiskmn.

I like to photograph while I'm commuting on the bus... through the dirt and the grease on the windows even. Well, maybe not the smeared spots which someone's head has left behind. If I see something like that, I'll find a different seat to sit in because the smear is almost always at my eye level and when I'm looking out at the streetscapes, I don't want to think about what it is exactly which has been left on the window.

I don't think of myself as a germaphobe, but apparently I am to a certain extent.
