still surviving on the street

My reader(s) who live in cold climates would probably not be as enchanted as I was by this angular ice that I found the other morning in a gutter. But on the other hand, that same reader might be amazed at tomorrow’s post.

Vapours

This year has felt this way – what little bits of light we get quickly turn to vapors and are gone, and all the while dark clouds lurk.

both graceful and dangerous

My photographic eye was caught by the contrasts in the sweep of razor wire – it’s so graceful as it arches over the barbed wire, yet so deadly. No new ground here – either philosophically or photographically; it was just something I saw.

Distant Light

When I was shooting the auditorium and coliseum, the boiler room was just about my favorite place in the entire facility. It was dark and mysterious. It smelled weird. It made unusual clangy noises. It was full of oddities.

So of course it was my favorite place.

Watchful Eyes

If you’ve spent more than five minutes looking at my photographs, you already know I almost never photograph people. But sometimes, I can tell that it’s time to break my own rule. Like this one right here, with those two official-looking people watching that trio hurrying toward one of the last rodeos that would ever happen in this particular building.
