the gull

A man. A Segway. A seagull.

That can be the setup for a really stupid joke, or the setup for this photograph.

bounced light: hotel room

The very nice front desk person at the hotel hooked me up with a balcony room, and I slept with the door open every night. One night, I had dozed off and when I woke up I saw this lovely scene. I made a photo then went back to sleep.

My sleeps were delightful from this room – with cool ocean breezes, the sound of the fountain in the courtyard, clanging of passing boats. The first night back home, though, my brain was like, “Uh…nope. None of us are gonna sleep tonight. At least not until we get an ocean breeze.” (There are shockingly few ocean breezes here in Lubbock, so my brain and I had a restless night. Stupid brain.)

culture/clash

I’m just going to leave this here and let you think about it.

cabinetry

This building is boarded up now, but back in the Olden Days of 2014, all I had to do to see this scene was to walk down the alley and look through the broken glass.

The real question here (and it’s one I cannot answer) is why I would have waited 405 weeks between when I made this photo and when I posted it.

architectural lines

I was headed to the convention center to pick up my credentials for a conference and I turned the route into a photo walk. You know, as one does.
