Totem


DETAIL OF TOTEM POLE, EVANSTON, ILLINOIS, DECEMBER 6, 2009

Pentax K20D
Tamron 90mm f2.8 DI
1/1000 f8
ISO 1600

Outside a folk art shop on Central Street in Evanston called The Urban Totem sits a ten-foot eponymous example, carved from cedar and well weathered. I'd passed it many times and never noticed until today, when I took the camera on an outing hoping for interesting holiday shots. This fellow doesn't look like Santa, but he'll do.
