Loaded

021817

For various reasons, I’ve been in a bit of shooting slump since, well, the first part of December. I’m trying to pull myself out of it, and one thing I did was to take advantage of a very warm February Saturday and go around back at a local shopping center.

I don’t know that I’m out of the slump quite yet, but I did see loading docks…

The Trinity

A pair of not-entirely-vertical power poles and a cross make an unbalanced trinity at the parking lot church.

Studio 2, CASP

A behind-the-scenes look at K:McCartney Studio; Kendra is one of the artists in residence at the Charles Adams Studio Project. The next time you’re in town, you should stop in.

(Her work’s for sale, too. If you get my drift.)

Art Planet

Big chunks of downtown Lubbock don’t have anything going on, but the north end is turning into a interesting arts center. It’s anchored by the Louise Hopkins Underwood Center for the Arts and the Charles Adams Studio Project, and there is nearly always something interesting going on. Last winter I took letterpress classes down here, and the other night – when I made this image – I was taking part in a drink-and-draw event hosted by one of the CASP artists in residence.

I like to think about the “traditional” efforts at downtown revitalization in Lubbock, that haven’t always been successful, and compare them with how much the arts have transformed this area. Maybe there’s a lesson here?

Some illumination

I found this in a building that was under renovation. I have a hard time thinking the renovation could have improved on these colors and that light. (But don’t tell the architect, who is also my Patient Spouse.)
