The Old Market

Sorry to keep you waiting after the tease last week.

I have been doing some freelance graphic design at a company that's located in the Old Market area of downtown Omaha. It's a very old part of town (hence the name) and has amazing architecture and brick streets. There are old brick buildings that used to be warehouses and manufacturing plants that have been converted into restaurants, shops and lofts. It seems like Omaha is trying to preserve the history while giving the area more modern uses. Anyway, I absolutely love it down there and usually spend part of my lunch break every day walking around. About a week ago I walked around after work and took about a billion pictures. Lucky for you I edited them down a little but there are still a lot. So I am posting one of my favorites here, but go view the whole set here.

The Essence of Cool

This is also my pick for My Best Shot Monday.

That is cool. And the bright red, very snazzy.

Truly cool. Love the shiny red.

That's excellent. Great perspective. I love shots of inanimate things. I tend to focus on them.

Paige... your photos have given me a glimpse into the beauty of Omaha! WOW! It makes me want to visit!

Very cool. The red pop is great!

Wow...completely modern meets historic. Nice contrast. That's an interesting theme to work around. I might take that up this week.

Ooh, I love the contrast!
