That day was windy – even by West Texas standards! That wind was a beast and almost made it hard to think going out to photograph things was a bad idea.

But this sort of made me rethink how bad that wind really was: after all, a calm day wouldn’t have given me this gift, would it?

OKC Mornings

Well, this is something different!

Mornings from my hotel room were filled with the view across the street, and I couldn’t resist making photos. And then, I couldn’t resist making them into a triptych.

Also, starting this week, this image and a few others will be available for purchase at Broadway Contemporary Fine Art Gallery in Lubbock. I am extremely proud that gallery owner (and artist) Janelle Barrington-Spivey has included my work with the other local and regional artists she represents. If you’re in Lubbock, stop on by and tell Janelle I said hello.

Changes in agriculture* have rendered this grain elevator (and many of its cousins) unnecessary. But this is at least the third time I’ve photographed this particular one, and I bet I’m not done yet. So they still do serve a purpose, although it is very limited and contributes nothing to local economies…

*I said that like I know what those changes are. But I don’t.

Confusion (with paper towels)

When you combine a photographer, an out-of-business restaurant, a highway, and a very reflective (and dirty) window, this is what you get.

Lunch Lady

Color AND a person? I’m as surprised by this as you are.

(Backstory: we drove to Olton for lunch at a BBQ place that’s very good, and well worth the hour’s drive. It’s a food truck, and this woman was sitting at one of the picnic tables waiting on her lunch to arrive. Travel advice: if you like BBQ you may want to check out Rejino BBY, but get there early as they sell out.)
