Had to choose between the food court or the old arcade for my final shot at the Sunrise Mall
The light was fading fast and I only had one roll of film left. I picked the arcade because I spotted a single, dusty 'Galaga' cabinet still plugged in under a broken skylight. Got a shot of its screen reflected in a puddle from a leaky roof, which felt right. Anyone else ever make a call like that and have it totally sum up the whole vibe of a place?

Man, you're really reading a lot into a leaky arcade.

Guilty as charged @dakota787 - maybe I'm just trying to find deep meaning in a puddle because I spent way too many quarters on Galaga as a kid.

Look at that Galaga shot you described. It's not just a leaky roof, it's the whole story of that mall right now. What made you see that puddle and think it was the perfect mirror instead of just a wet floor?
