An Apple A Night

The Apple Computer Store in Friendly Center is a fabulous place to hang out, not only by day, but also by night! Here we were last weekend, at closing time, and low and behold if we didn't land another "Guy Noir" shot. We love NPR's "A Prairie Home Companion" and every time we see someone or something intriguing, we dub the shot, a 'Guy Noir' shot. Here was our last one. Lone, anonymous person...pensive... clutched to car, smoking, nicely dressed...could be a detective on a case= 'Guy Noir' shot. As darkness prevails, we see a tiny reflection on the left side of the car in the background. We're hoping that qualifies the photo for Weekend Reflection.

In the meantime, there is so much to do in our corner of North Carolina this weekend. We want to visit Charlie Tefft's pottery show for sure. We might want to make one last visit to the Renaissance Festival or visit the craft show at the Wesley Memorial United Methodist Church in High Point (8-3 today--it is a BIG one). We could go to the Carolina NC State Game (IF we had tickets). We could go to a Carolina Panthers game (IF we had tickets).  Our weekend started on a high note with running into half a dozen people we know during dinner at the Village Tavern last night. Let us know what else is going on and we'll try to get out for a photo. We still haven't decided on a religious institution to feature this Sunday. (Feel free to put in a good word for yours)! In the meantime, wonder what will be happening under the glowing Macintosh Apple tonight!

Oh gosh, you're right! Cool shot!

And don't forget the Piedmont Craftsmen's Show in Winston-Salem at the Benton Convention Center today and tomorrow. Hope to see you there.

The Apple store is a dangerous place for "guy noir" types, spies, geeks, computer junkies, Apple fans - a credit card accident can happen quickly at that place ...

Great shot, lots to look at!

I especially like the silhouette of the smoker at his open car door. He must not have known he was being "shot."

Cool that you have an Apple store. We don't have one here. I can't afford to shop there anyway.

Anything qualifies as a reflection for a photo of a that guy - straight from an old "B-movie" :-)

What a great shot in the dark. Lovely reflections.

[Crafty Green Poet]

Excellent, that looks brilliant!

[Irina]

Very interesting slice of life.
Waiting for photo report of the events you visited on this week-end.

[Carolina Mts]

Fun reflection shot.

Great "Guy Noir" shot and it is an intriguing photo with the Apple Logo at the top. It almost seems a bit like the green light on the end of the pier in Great Gatsby (or is that too farfetched)?

Thanks for your comments chez moi.

Just excellent! "Guy Noir" shots are fun and this is superb.

Our daughter is doing well and we're back at home and want to thank you for all your good wishes! Hope things are going good there, too!

Brighter than the half moon in the sky. Guy Noir is thinking whether or not he should follow the doll to that dive downtown.

hee hee...
Chez la Vache is all Apple, all the time! We have 2 iMacs, an iMac, 2 iPod Touch, an iPad, Airport Express and Time Capsule...

A lot going on around Greensboro! Hope you take it easy this weekend!
