The Marlborough Hotel (AKA The Marly) is near my work. I think that, since I’ve been able to, I’ve been in there maybe ten times. Possibly fifteen, but I think ten at most. Most times I’ve been there, however, have been pretty important and entirely meaningless at the same time.
At this stage, I’m not sure if I’ll go in there again. I don’t have much of a desire to, really. It’s nice enough, but I prefer other places.
This is my submission into the three hundred-and-forty-third Lens-Artists Photo Challenge. The theme for this one is “Seen on my Last Outing“.
This was taken shortly after this photo, when I was walking back to work. Figured I’d get a photo of the sign. It looked interesting at that particular moment. Beyond framing, not much more thought put into the photo.
The host of the Lens-Artists challenges cycles weekly between the following people:
This one is curated by Leya. The next one is curated by Anne.
I recommend joining the community and participating in the challenges. They’re pretty straightforward, allow room for interpretation, and provide a good way to think about photography in general. If not, however, then at the very least you should check out what others submit to the challenges.
I hope you enjoy.




Looks like a good building to photograph.
