After spending most of the day working in my pajamas (this happens more often than I like to admit), I showered and walked over to Reading Terminal Market. I needed ingredients and more vitally, I needed to get out of the apartment, spend a little time at ground level and be around people.

I took my camera with me, because I’ve been working on taking more interesting pictures. Spending so much time at home means that my photos start to all look the same and I want to shake off that trend.

And it was good to be out. No major revelations or life-altering experiences (beyond an annoying exchange with a guy at Godshall’s). Just lots of Christmas lights and an appreciation for Philadelphia.
