Art on the window, looking out of this San Jose library. A story can be made from the details.

In the home of a Poet

Poet's Home

I love this photo and the happy memories that go with it. This photo taken while listening to an open mic night downtown in the home of a renowned San Jose poet.

Also, happy one year anniversary to this blog! One year sharing our attempts to capture the beauty of San Jose and the surrounding area. One year of 825mph.com.
