Detritus
In addition to liking to find stacks of chairs, I also like to nose around the backs of places: I’m interested in seeing what sorts of random things are kept and try to imagine why they are there. This was a particularly interesting set of crap.

Things you can’t see anymore
May 6, 2018: on a 526-vote margin, Lubbock citizens voted to destroy two of our most recognizable buildings – buildings that held our collective memories of basketball games, rodeos, symphonies, circuses, monster truck pulls, pancake breakfasts, concerts, graduations, and so many other events, all of which helped define our community. And ourselves.

Stackable Chairs
I like to find stacks of chairs. I know that’s a weird thing to know about me, but I am pretty sure it’s not the weirdest thing you know about me…

First Aid
For various reasons, mostly related to inertia, I haven’t been out shooting many new images lately. Fortunately (depending on how you look at it), I have quite a few images left over from a big documentary project I did in 2018-2019, so for the next few days, I’ll be posting some of the images that didn’t make the cut for the show.
In 2019, the 1950s-era Lubbock Municipal Auditorium and Coliseum were demolished; I was able to have full access to the facilities during the last year they were operational. It was a wonderful opportunity to document the place that held a lot of my childhood memories.
One thing I didn’t have a memory of – fortunately – was the first aid room. What I like about this image – but what I barely noticed when I made it – is the way the paint is worn away from the right-hand side of the passageway, showing decades of foot-falls in exactly the same spots.

Coconut Park
Coconuts seem exotic. Seeing them lying on the ground in a park seems not exotic. I’m confused, a little.
