127/365 red borders - a photo on Flickriver

            being the cheap bastard that i am, i was chilling for a little bit at the border's cafe reading some photography books instead of buying them.  i once read an entire dan brown book in one sitting.  i liked the red decor of the cafe... so i decided to take a shot but had to wait until one of the people vacated the chairs as i liked it with this composition.  i usually am sort of reluctant to take photos of strangers as i'm not very good at it but this whole setting was just to good to pass up.  i wasn't exactly hiding what i was doing, but the guy was so engrossed in his reading that he didn't notice me.  i'm wondering if he would have minded me taking the shot.  i thought about photoshopping some of those drinks out of the way... but i figured, that's how the shot was presented to me, that's how i'm going to capture it.
