Aww, thank you! I gave it a half-arsed shot like a decade ago but decent photos from here are a dime a dozen; you need ambition to make it in a saturated market and I just don't care enough.
And it's a pretty photogenic city, minus the suburbs, which I genuinely rarely end up in anyway. I don't mind grit so there isn't much I shy away from, with three main exceptions: I'll rarely, if ever, take a picture that shows the Irving oil tanks on the top of the Southside Hills, the rock cuts for the Riverhead sewage treatment plant on Southside Road, or the blank side of the old Fortis Building on Water Street. Everything else, I can make it work with some angle or some strategically-chosen piece of foreground to block out something irredeemable.
