Walking past the water tower I almost miss this building. It's swallowed by the landscaping and the shadow of the light tower cuts harshly across the face of the structure. The wind is strong and the swings in the park nearby slowly sway back and forth like the tops of the trees looming over me. 

Wigs and vintage clothes look out at me from the dark shop, playful and bright, like a neon sign. The mannequin in the window poses gracefully; the flowers on her dress glow the same color as her hair. She stares out contently, unbothered by the six fingers she’s missing.

The shops are hours past closing, and the merchandise sits shrouded in darkness. The sign, a design gem from decades past, is dark, too. In the distance, voices from a bar murmur in the cold air.

Marcotte has a way of capturing buildings, locations and people in a way that makes even locals stop. It's his intent to highlight the everyday in another light, hoping it will cause you to stop, reassess and take in every part of the city. Joshua Marcotte: Walking down Orchard …
