Right here is where I started to fight back from a long, hard shooting slump. . Santa Monica Pier Santa Monica, California photographed 2.19.2017 . #haiku #poetry #taketimetolook #learningtosee #thoughtfulseeing #thepoetryofphotography #blackandwhitephotography #leicamonochrom #travelphotography #roadtrip #santamonica #santamonicapier with @michael_beller and @ehpemIf you’ve heard of Shiner, Texas, you’ve probably heard of it because of beer*. . But there’s also quite a dramatic church. As I made my photos, I could hear murmured conversation from…somewhere. Maybe it was the priest and a parishioner or two. Or maybe it was the brother saints for whom the church is named. Or maybe the priest and the brother saints were discussing things that needed discussing. I’ll never know. . Sts. Cyril and Methodius Catholic Church Shiner, Texas photographed 11.24.2019 . *In college, Shiner was the cheapest beer available. Since then, it’s reinvented itself, which is great, so now there are better reasons than “it’s really cheap” to purchase it. However, I am not sure I can get on board with their current offering of Shiner S’more Chocolate and Marshmallow Ale… . #learningtosee #thoughtfulseeing #taketimetolook #onedayoneimage #blackandwhitephotography #leicamonochrom #travelphotography #roadtrip #shiner #texas #church #beerLow sunlight slicing across cactus reminds us desert’s a harsh place. . Alpine, Texas photographed 12.23.2018 . #haiku #poetry #taketimetolook #learningtosee #thoughtfulseeing #thepoetryofphotography #blackandwhitephotography #leicamonochrom #travelphotography #roadtrip #alpine #texas #cactusI first visited this place in May, and a return trip so soon seemed sort of redundant: I wasn’t sure there would be any new photographic opportunities. But still, we were in the area and it seemed silly to not stop. This shot was – I thought – about the light on the wall between those two pews. And then, Photoshop helped me to see that it was really about the weird sunlight on the left side, radiating outward from the statue and crucifix. .

(Asking for a friend, as they say.) . Abilene, Texas photographed 4.13.2017 . #haiku #poetry #taketimetolook #learningtosee #thoughtfulseeing #thepoetryofphotography #blackandwhitephotography #leicamonochrom #windowdisplayThis place was another stop on the Nostalgia Tour 2019, and was in fact the reason we were even in this part of South Texas. This restaurant has been around since the 1940s, selling local seafood and other specialties. My first visit here was in the late 1970s (it’s where my mother-in-law told me I was eating shrimp the “wrong way”*). Anyway, everything was pretty much how I remembered it. I don’t specifically remember the flag in the restroom hallway, but it seemed like it’s probably been there all along. . I ate some shrimp, and no one even cared if I did it the right way or not. . King’s Inn Restaurant Loyola Beach, Texas photographed 11.23.2019 . *Full disclosure: eating shrimp incorrectly was not the only thing she pointed out to me. It was, eventually, quite a lengthy list that included – but was certainly not limited to – laundry detergent, family planning, child rearing, and making coffee. . #learningtosee #thoughtfulseeing #taketimetolook #onedayoneimage #blackandwhitephotography #leicamonochrom #travelphotography #roadtrip #loyolabeach #texas #kingsinn #flagThe blog on Facebook!

Yikes Melinda – its like you forgot to include most of your photo! Talk about pared down to almost nothing. I notice that while some are dimming, none have yet gone out which is unlike most of your photos where all the lights are out.

(Don’t tell anyone, but I thought about adding some color BACK into this one, maybe making one light red or green. But then I came to my senses, figuring it was enough of a departure from my usual. No need to frighten the reader(s).)

We would have been happy with one of the lights turned off – maybe you could clone one out and that would satisfy your urges.
