Tiny Giants

Since I was asked, macro photography is done using a lens that allows you to focus on a subject that is inches away, basically so you can take close-up pictures of tiny things.  I don't know why it isn't called micro photography, but it has something to do with the fact that the image on the negative is the same size as the object.  On the other hand, if you take a photo of your head, the image is much smaller than your head.  

Anyway, the above is a part of a photo display in a window that had been there so long the image was peeling off the paper.  I couldn't tell what was going on until I took the picture.  To the eye it looked like some strange fungus was growing on the photograph.  The display showed what this plaza in Berlin looked like before it was bombed in the war.  And now the photograph is self-destructing.
