Bath

110515

I really liked the faucet in this tub – those are pretty nice curves!

However, what you’re seeing here is the water at full force; it would take ages to fill the tub for a bath, and I’d be out of the mood by then.

There have been many requests

This place, Chimayó, is considered a sacred and healing location; as many as 300,000 pilgrims each year journey to this remote place seeking the healing properties of the dirt from a small room off the main church.

Outside of the church, there are various shrines like this one, all crowded with crosses, candles, and hopes.

This church was founded in 1751; it is considered one of the best examples of Colonial Spanish architecture in New Mexico. Some of the adobe walls, which are re-mudded periodically, are as much as six feet thick.

Remember yesterday, when I mentioned making images of implied people, instead of actual ones?

These ruby-red glasses and plastic-encased menus imply people, I guess.

Circle + Square (or, really, a rectangle)

Circle + Square

The assignment for that day’s shooting was people. People?! That’s just not my deal.

Implied people, maybe? And what better implies people than a forgotten rubber band in a square of sunlight?
