yi-ching lin photography 
at the 24-hour
diner, there are
moments when
there is no one
to look at, no
bonds to build
or break, and
the waiter has
stepped away
for a smoke.
it’s just you
and your prime
burger, with all
the trimmings, a
basket of sweet
potato waffle
fries, and – while
you’re alone –
that elusive
malted milkshake
.

I really like how you give a Mantra with your posts, nice touch !!!
thank you! it says “money” mantra, but it’s also for health! (smile)
I love this photograph. You know it’s a good lunch counter when they give you your choice between Tabasco and Frank’s hot sauce already out.
ha! great catch!
I love that shot!
thank you – it was a cool place.
beautiful photo!
thank you so much for dropping in!
You get such amazing texture in your photos- you turn everyday life into magic- which it is, we just don’t see it!
aww, what a sweet compliment!! thank you, Dr. R.
O the poem—I can relate. Now for the sweet potato fries….
