One of my greatest joys in life is to wander around the streets of Chicago with my camera in hand, finger on the shutter. While I was strolling through the Wicker Park neighborhood, reminiscing about the days when I lived just a few blocks away, this view through the window of a laundromat caught my eye. It reminded me of the many hours I've spent in laundromats in my past life, listening to music, reading books, writing letters. I've had a fondness for laundromats ever since, and this particular one with its teal machines really stood out for me. ~ Sarah-Ji
