Enter at Your Own Risk: A Quirky Brooklyn Discovery

Before heading off to Bill Fortney's New England Photo Workshop, I wanted to share today's photo. I'm genuinely excited about the trip and eager to pick up new skills while shooting parts of New England I've never explored before. Posting may be sporadic next week depending on the schedule and internet access, but I'll be back to my regular routine the week of October 17th.

Humorous warning sign at a Brooklyn restaurant entrance — A playful warning sign spotted at a Brooklyn restaurant entrance

Wandering around New York City always turns up something unexpected, and this stroll through Brooklyn was no exception. At the entrance to a restaurant I found a sign that was both odd and amusing, though it hardly made me want to step inside and sample the menu. Back in business school, I never learned anything about warning prospective customers about the dangers of patronizing your business.
