Theatre lighting
Yes, I was that person at the theatre the other night using the time before the show to take photos. And to experiment with depth of field. I had to do something other than just SIT there…

I’m not available just now to respond to comments, but leave ’em anyway, if you’re inclined. I’ll respond as soon as I can.
Stored Circles
Remember that time when I said “Art is where art is?”? And I’d found what I considered to be art in a storeroom at an arts center? Well, I stand by that statement – these stored tables were in the very same room.
It’s not too far a stretch from always looking around back to always peeking around a corner, is it?

For help
You know how I am – I’ll make pictures just about anywhere. Including here, in the bathroom of a room at a local hospital. And this is just the way I saw it – no moving anything around to make it look better. Because what’s better than the way those things all came together on their own?

Got something to say? Go ahead and say it – and I’ll reply sometime around July 10th.
Toward the end, his wardrobe dwindled
Inside an abandoned house, a dead man’s wardrobe hangs, gathering dust and shedding usefulness.

I’m gone the rest of the week, doing this, which to be honest about it, makes me pretty nervous! But, anyway, leave comments and I’ll reply when I get home.
Sorrows Gather Around
The little oil towns are either doing great or they are about to die, depending on the oil market. Every boom seems like it will last, but of course they never do. And the busts hit hard every single time.
The current bust has hit Sundown so hard that it’s eliminated EMS services and closed the library and the swimming pool just to try to meet the (reduced) budget. It reminds me of this song, by James McMurtry, which unfortunately continues to be true, even many years after he wrote it.

Got a comment? I’d love to hear it, and will respond when I’m back from a little bit of a break.
