Sale

OMFG IT’S A SALE!

Nothing is more exciting in a market democracy than obtaining an object for less money than one perceived one would have had to spend in order to obtain it.

Last night walking down Michigan Avenue (starting at the 400 block of North Michigan Avenue) from work, I began taking pictures of sale signs in the windows of retail establishments.

I present to you: SALE!: A collection of store window-based visual representations of the fact that one or more item inside the store now costs less than it usually would.

God bless us all.
